That means that augeas can't parse it.  Look under
"/augeas/files/etc/sudoers/" to see why, although I've gotta say
that Augeas' parse errors are generally entirely unhelpful:

augtool> ls /augeas/files/etc/sudoers/error/
pos = 2587
message = Short iteration

It's the one thing I don't like about it.  At least give me a line
number.  :(
