Unattended upgrade from 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro fails with message "This upgrade path is unsupported".

I'm investigating an upgrade scenario from 8Pro to 8.1Pro, using the the /unattend switch to setup.exe.
I'm running the win8.1 setup.exe from within Windows8.0 with an activated key.
The autounattend.xml file is created with the WSIM tool, and it's only configuration is the upgrade flag.

This results in an error dialog with the message "This upgrade path is unsupported...".
The setupact.log shows:

If I manually perform the upgrade, there's no problem, but with the /unattend flag it's stating the upgrade path is unsupported.
Am I doing something wrong here? 
I'm confused and cannot see the reason for this error message.
Regards.

PS.
My quest is to find ways to have the setup to include our products filter-driver through the whole setup process.
The previous solution ( from win7->win8 ) was successfully using an unattend-file with the driver included.
