I've been poring over this error for a while now and have found a solution. I will be submitting a pull request with the change that I believe will fix it.
The Problem
With a fresh install of generator-angular-ui-router, when I run the app generator, I receive the following error during npm install stage:
yo angular-ui-router
... lots of good stuff ...

The Cause
This error is caused by gifsicle version 0.1.7, which is purportedly known to be annoying and cause issues.
The Solution
To solve the issue I had to manually edit the package.json of my newly generated angular-ui-router project and switch from grunt-contrib-imagemin version 0.2.0 to version 1.0.1.
My proposed solution is to edit the file templates/common/_package.json and change the dependency to "~1.0.1~. I will now begin writing code to fix the issue.
