MySQL Workbench Migration Wizard refuses to reverse engineer table and gives no reason why

[Jay Bienvenu]

I'm trying to migrate a database from my development machine to the staging environment using the Migration Wizard in MySQL Workbench on my development machine. The Migration Wizard is refusing to reverse engineer one critical table.

I am not a database admin by trade; I am a developer with one objective, to copy my database from my machine to another. My search on the term mysql workbench migration Table not reverse engineered turned up some SO posts from people migrating between DB platforms and some information about reverse engineering in MySQL but nothing that helped me determine the problem. For griggles, I ran the Reverse Engineering command in Workbench hoping it would fail and give me some useful information. But the Reverse Engineering command ran without a hitch and produced a correct relationship graph.

So I have a migration that's refusing to export a critical table, and no details about what's wrong or how I can fix it. I'm not happy.

What can I do to determine why the Migration Wizard isn't reverse-engineering my table? And exactly how can Migration Wizard fail to reverse-engineer it when the Reverse Engineering command handles it without fail?

This is the log from the Reverse Engineer Source step, snipped for relevance:
