I compared the differences between version 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 and found that version 1.0.4 removed the optional dependency on planet-muluna, causing the reverse-factory mod to throw an error. However, even after removing planet-muluna, the error persisted. Eventually, I used the process of elimination and found that the culprit was AAI Industry...
If I add back the optional dependency on planet-muluna, the issue is resolved. What a recursive problem this is...
