Adding a pin for SQLAlchemy to version 0.6.8 fixes the issue. For details see SQLAlchemy changelog

Named Transmogrifier Pipelines

In collective/transmogrifier/genericsetup.py, 'transmogrifier.txt' is assigned to be read. So place the file in profiles/default directory, pipeline identifiers are read one per line, for example 'mysite.migration.importFromCSV'. In ZMI portal_setup 'Import' tab, you can run the selected steps.
