Got a similar problem using the following setup:
- Windows 7 x64
- node v0.10.32
- npm v2.5.0
- yeoman v1.3.2
- grunt-cli v0.1.13
- grunt-html-snap v0.6.1 (grunt-html-snapshots has the same problem)
- grunt-lib-phantomjs v0.3.0 (a dependancy of grunt-html-snap(s) )
- phantomjs v1.9.15 (a dependancy of grunt-lib-phantomjs(s) )
Of less importance:
- bower v1.3.12
- git v1.9.4.msysgit.2

At first I thought I solved it with the fix I posted on github HERE. On this github issue post you can also find other possible solutions.
But when I tried to generate a new project a few weeks later, I ran into the same issue...
My generator executes the following install commands:
install: function () {
var self = this,
done = self.async();
self.log(msgStepStart('------- 7: Installing! -------'));
// ---------- Generate STRUCTURE : Installation of npm packages START ---------- //
self.npmInstall([
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]', // Dependancy: [email protected]
'[email protected]'
], { 'save': true, 'saveExact': true }, function() {
done();
self.log(msgStepEnd('------- 7: I am done installing! -------'));
});
// npm save as save, saveDev or saveExact?
// --save: Package will appear in your dependencies.
// --save-dev: Package will appear in your devDependencies.
// --save-optional: Package will appear in your optionalDependencies.
// When using any of the above options to save dependencies to your package.json, there is an additional, optional flag:
// --save-exact: Saved dependencies will be configured with an exact version rather than using npm's default semver range operator.
// --save-dev-exact would be the sam as | { 'saveDev': true } => { 'saveDevExact': true }
// ---------- Generate STRUCTURE : Installation of npm packages END ---------- //
}
I also tried the phantomjs troubleshooting and none of them solved my problem.
Then when I tried to install phantomjs in an empty folder using the npm install command in gitbash and it installed without any error repeatedly.
$ npm install phantomjs
OR
$ npm install [email protected]
When I did this with grunt-lib-phantomjs, it got the same error 3 times out of 10.
$ npm install grunt-lib-phantomjs
OR
$ npm install [email protected]
And when I did this with grunt-html-snapshot, it got the same error 10 times out of 10.
$ npm install grunt-html-snapshot
OR
$ npm install [email protected]
This got me thinking. I installed phantomjs with npm on a new folder and ran my generator. This resulted in an installation without errors 10 out of 10.
To let the generator handel the complete installation I added the installation of phantomjs under the conflicts method priority of the generator to be shure it got installed before the installation of the other npm installs.
conflicts: function () {
var self = this,
done = self.async();
self.log(msgStepStart('------- 6: Handeling Conflicts! -------'));
self.npmInstall([
'[email protected]',
], {}, function() {
done();
self.log(msgStepEnd('------- 6: I handled the conflicts! -------'));
});
},
This fixed my problem completely, hope it is helpful for someone else to.
P.S.:
If you use any kind of versioning control that leaves out the installed node_modules for the deployed project. You might consider using the following in your end method priority of your generator.
end: function () {
var self = this,
done = self.async();
self.log(msgStepStart('------- 8: End! -------'));
self.spawnCommand('npm dedupe').on('exit', function(){
self.spawnCommand('npm shrinkwrap').on('exit', function(){
self.log();
self.log(clc.green('!') + clc.whiteBright(' Successfully created ') + clc.cyan(self.appTitle));
self.log(clc.green('!') + clc.whiteBright(' To see your site, run:'));
self.log('\t' + clc.yellowBright('grunt serve'));
self.log();
done();
self.log(msgStepEnd('------- 8: The End! -------'));
});
});
}
This combo will result in a deduplicated installation with fixed versions on the main and dependency levels.
This will also keep the jsphantom install on the main level and not as a dependency to avoid the error discussed. And thus will result in a clean install when you downloaded a versioned project without the node_modules folder using:
$ npm install
