Thanks for reporting as @pkiller mentioned this should be fixed if you create the system folder. I have also fixed it on master as well as the error messages so you should get a better error message if the upload fails.
To find which files are erroring, add
console.error('json error in file', path.join(coreLanguagesPath, lang, namespace + '.json'));
