Thanks to everybody for their answers.

Just for the sake of reporting any findings to Bugzilla, I'll attempt
another upgrade via FedUp in a VM but I think I'll upgrade the machine
in question using yum.

It's a shame. I went from 12 sequentially through to 17 using preupgrade
without a single hitch.
