An upgrade to 6.1.1 fixed it for us. Basically, the postal service changed the data their rate servers are returning and added some extra garbage. If you want to fix it yourself instead of upgrading you'll need to debug the data you're getting back from the rate quote servers and change the code to strip out the extra stuff yourself.

I am on the same exact 6.0.14 version. Do you mind sharing how you fixed it?
