Having the same issue; did you ever figure out a solution?

Does adding --unsafe-perm help you?

a word of caution to folks reading this: try and avoid having to use sudo with npm or node in general .. if you need to give user accounts access to the global node_modules space then do that. If it's a single-user machine, just give that user account ownership of /usr/lib/node_modules or /usr/local/lib/ or wherever your global node_modules space is.
