After a short investigation it appears:
- that the previous submission was the 4/21/04
- at this time, aging used for empire score was 10%. now it is 5% (change made in may)

on the 4/21/2004 submission, score with 5% aging give 96 552 Mpts and 76 947 Mpts with a 10% aging
on the 6/2/2004 submission, score with 5% aging give 104 537 Mpts and 78 475 Mpts with a 10% aging
So what happen is before the submission, the empire score was based on a 10% aging. No recalc was done when the rule for empire aging has changed. SO on 6/2/2004, there is a small jump due to the new submission and a big one due to using 5% aging instead of 10%.
