it really seems the VM imports below got a step further.

I don't think this is a problem. virt-v2v properly detected that it is
Windows 10 what is installed in the VM.

This is the real problem. VDSM is confused because virt-v2v changed
output format and progress reporting looks different now. VDSM is still
waiting for progress update even though virt-v2v is already copying
data. And when virt-v2v terminates VDSM reports this error and aborts
the operation.
I could perhaps try creating a patch for that. But I don't have an
environment to test it.
