If a malformed envelope is read from the stream, an error is propagated synchronously up the stack. However, the envelope is unmarshaled into a nil message which is also propagated further up the stack asynchronously. Under very rare circumstances, the error is picked up later than the message, and a nil pointer panic occurs. This patch fixes this by returning early in case of an error.
