Vanilla Thaumcraft iron nuggets have a Metallum value of 1. Installing TE increases that value to 4, and removing it reverts it to 1. Allowing nuggets to have such a high Metallum value allows one to produce an infinite number of iron nuggets with Thaumcraft's alchemy system.

Mods installed:

• Applied Energistics
• Thaumcraft (and Baubles)
• Thaumic Energistics

I have tested this on a fresh installation of both forge and all three mods listed above, to no effect.

ThE should not be touching iron nuggets. Will look into this.

Confirmed
