On the first run of the distribution wizard it did not recognize the original 
XWiki version and provided me with a menu to select
the version from. I guess this was the case because I had the 
.../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file removed
(as recommended in 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard#HThewizardfailstoappearatstartup)

So I selected 7.4.1 from the menu, but then got stuck with the "This version is 
not compatible with your installation" error.

On the second run, I had everything restored from backup, including the 
status.xml file.
This time, the DW did *not* ask me for the old version, but went straight to 
the upgrade process.

I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but if it does the DW could be 
made more robust
when detecting the XWiki version to upgrade from, especially as removing the 
status.xml file
is mentioned in the DW troubleshooting section.
