Having the exact same problem. I cannot recreate the problem locally (in Eclipse/JBoss) but it is in our test and prod environments.

I found that in the properties file that contained the text to be decrypted (where the ENC(....) was located) the property on the next line was not actually on the next line but was concatenated to the end of the previous line (i.e. no newline for the ENC(...) line). This caused the decryption to fail (for obvious reasons).
