I used clonezilla and built the VM that way.  If you get the OVA thing working, cool..  but in the meantime, here's how I did it using Clonezilla.

The bad news is that unfortunately, this OVA-import functionality is indeed broken on 4.2.0.2.
The good news is that not only that the fix for this, along with other OVA-related improvements, is already available on the master branch where 4.2.1 will be generated from but also that there is a workaround for importing an OVA **that was generated by oVirt** which may even be more efficient:
The alternative way requires using the SDK.
An example that demonstrates how to do this can be found at [1] - you just need to replace the path to the ova (#43), the name of the target cluster (#45), the connection details (#51-#57) and the name of the target storage domain (#115).

So you'll need to install the SDK on one of the hosts that are part of the source data center and then:
1. Export the VM as OVA through the webadmin/rest-api to a specific path on that host.
2. Execute the example-script that takes the OVA from that path and uploads it to the target data center.

Note that the SDK example-script uses the upload-disk operation.
This requires several configuration settings - I highly suggest to execute the example of upload-disk [2] and only once that works for you to upload the OVA(s).

Followed instructions here:
Section: Importing OVA Files from VMware
Even though its not VMWare, its an ova file so I followed the steps there.  Ownership of the file is 777, wide open.

Error after clicking load: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /media/primary/extra_space/CentOS7.ova
