I forgot that order was optional, and would appear as nil instead of an empty string when attempting to access it, hence the concatenate nil error. I was trying to append the original order to the ice and ice-melting orders for items and recipes respectively, so the crafting menu would look clean (without space age, the value would just be copied directly, which works even if nil value)
Should be fixed now, as of v9.0.4, with or without space age. I haven't tested any of the other mods in the list, but I assume it was the same issue with any mod that added a fluid without an order, while space age was enabled.
