I think the main problem is that you skipped F13 and jumped to F14

"Upgrade to current release directly

Preupgrade provides an upgrade directly to the latest version of Fedora.
It is not necessary to upgrade to intermediate versions.
For example, it is possible to go from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 directly."
fyi,

I surely hope that if F12->F14 is *not* a supported upgrade path, then
preupgrade should *NOT* allow it to be done.  There was a problem with a
previous release (ISTR it was either F9 -> F11 or F10 -> F12) not being
able to be skipped, and part of the process disallowed it.
Unfortunately, it was after the packages had been downloaded, but it was
right after the first re-boot to install them, and the particular error
message was buried in one of the alternate windows, but, it clearly
stated that the upgrade I was trying was not supported (I did indeed
need to go through the intermediate step).  [The problem was the visible
error message only stated that the update process could not find the
previous installation root.]  That requirement was also documented in
the release notes.  I saw nothing in either the F13 or F14 release notes
requiring a serial update from F12.

Don't forget to go through all the .rpmnew and .rpmsave files and 
replace/merge them as necessary
Good point, I forgot about those.  I will have to go looking for them....
