Right, but from your post it seems to be an issue only if the mod missing a 1.0 version is to be downloaded as the dependency of another mod. I'm just wondering what mod relies on this one because it's not something you'd really build on.
I can upload a 1.0 version (hopefully the system is robust enough that a newer mod version with an older factorio version doesn't blow everything up).
EDIT: Version 0.0.7 for Factorio 1.0 is uploaded, let me know if it fixes your problem.
