I ran your example and all output I got was this:
Processing data\stamper_test.pdf...

Maybe the error you got was version dependent, I tested against SVN trunk.
Checking the result file, though, a shortcoming is apparant: The XML
metadata stream is empty while it was not in your original file.
Additionally the error message you got sounds very much like a XML parser
error.
When debugging into PdfStamper.close(), XmpReader.serializeDoc() (which
generates the XML metadata stored in the new file) actually does not
serialize its whole domDocument member (which was initialized by parsing the
original XML metadata) but merely the first match of
domDocument.getElementsByTagName("x:xmpmeta"). Unfortunately your original
metadata does not contain such an element at all. Therefore, you lose your
XML metadata.
BTW, the XML metadata in your original file are:
<?xpacket begin='' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d' bytes='770'?>

Maybe someone has an idea whether they are wrong or iText's handling of them
is wrong.
