The author of miniMAXIme claims the fix is on him.

The author of miniMAXIme (I) has just uploaded a new version that works around the crash by blacklisting new surfaces with your mod just before they are created. However, mods creating surfaces without blacklisting them may still crash because you try to access uninitialized tables. Here's a diff for your control.lua:

With these changes, I've got my mod running even without blacklisting the surfaces.
