The error you're getting generally means that the JSON was malformed for some reason. It seems unlikely that MediaWiki's api.php is outputting invalid JSON, but I suppose it's possible.
There is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132159 along those lines, although it's not an API issue.
I note that the reported issue is with list=recentchanges, the output of which (even at a constant timestamp offset) could easily change with page deletion or revdel.
