It appears that the problem was due to a (slightly) corrupt RPM database,
as, after blowing up the database doing a "yum remove" of a suspicious
package (duplicate? forget which package now) and then rebuilding the
database, an upgrade succeeded.
Also, I had only noticed Anaconda's logs in /var/log/anaconda*, and not the
ones in /root/upgrade.log*, which had many error messages in them. Still,
it would be nice if Anaconda mentioned that the upgrade had failed at the
end, instead of looking normal with no errors displayed.
