IPSec SPI

Note: I'm working on figuring out the cause of the packet loss regardless of their position. I would just like them to solve their problem if it isn't me.

Is it possible for light packet loss (0.1% - 0.3%) to cause these errors: 

Dec 18 00:12:07.098: %CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI: decaps: rec'd IPSEC packet has invalid spi for destaddr=Z.Z.Z.Z, prot=50, spi=0x9E6D41B7(2657960375), srcaddr=B.B.B.B, input interface=GigabitEthernet0/2

Dec 18 00:28:39.781: %CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI: decaps: rec'd IPSEC packet has invalid spi for destaddr= Z.Z.Z.Z , prot=50, spi=0x8716502A(2266386474), srcaddr=A.A.A.A, input interface=GigabitEthernet0/2 

I look it up and none of the pages I find say anything about connection quality and everything about configuration and timing. 

My client is insisting that it can't possibly be their problem and that it's entirely because of the packet loss.
