I'm going to guess it's a bug in the portion of SSIS that executes maintenance plans (since, on second look, it looks like it might be a .net error)
Patch the server (There's 4 service packs for 2008 R2 iirc, you shouldn't be running RTM by this point), patch the client as well (SSMS) and seriously consider replacing the maint plan with Ola's scripts, as they're far better.
