Error migrating from PostgreSQL to MySQL [42703]

Question

I have a database in Postgres that I would like to migrate to MySQL, but whenever I get to the reverse engineering stage of the MySQL Workbench Migration Wizard I get an error. The error is:

    ERROR: Reverse engineer selected schemas: ProgrammingError("('42703', '[42703] ERROR: column "min_value" does not exist;\nError while executing the query (1) (SQLExecDirectW)')"): error calling Python module function DbPostgresqlRE.reverseEngineer
Failed

The full error log is:

    File "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\modules\db_generic_re_grt.py", line 237, in reverseEngineer
    catalog = cls.reverseEngineerCatalog(connection, catalog_name)
  File "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\modules\db_generic_re_grt.py", line 397, in reverseEngineerCatalog
    cls.reverseEngineerSequences(connection, schema)

    min_value, max_value, start_value, increment_by, last_value, is_cycled, ncache = cls.execute_query(connection, seq_details_query % (schema.name, seq_name)).fetchone()

    return cls.get_connection(connection_object).cursor().execute(query, *args, **kwargs)

I tried modifying the Python script as described in the top comment here, but that did not stop the error. Does anyone know how I could resolve this?

Fix File "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\modules\db_postgresql_re_grt.py" lines ~70 change to

seq_details_query = """SELECT min_value, max_value, start_value, 
increment_by, last_value, cycle as is_cycled, cache_size as cache_value
FROM pg_catalog.pg_sequences
WHERE schemaname = '%s' AND sequencename = '%s' """
