What version of mksquashfs are you using? If you're using Ubuntu Gutsy then I expect it is mksquashfs version 3.2-r2. This should not crash on empty symlinks, but there is a bug in it that means it may crash on files which are unreadable (either because of permissions or I/O error). This was fixed in the latest 3.3 version available from http://squashfs.org.uk, and if you download that you should not have any more problems. If you use the latest version, and you want the filesystems to work on Gutsy, you have to specify -b 64K -no-sparse to mksquashfs to force it to generate a filesystem compatible with the version of Squashfs in Gusty.
