Comment (by galbaras):

 @azaozz Consistency questions: I've never tried to install anything that
 wasn't compatible with the versions of PHP or WP I had (without
 overwriting, that is), so I'm not sure what happens in this case. Does
 WordPress block the installation?

 If not, either make WordPress always check (i.e. never trust the admin),
 or leave these checks out of the overwriting case (i.e. always trust the
 admin).
