I had a support ticket # 120010921001546, and it's resolved.  All I needed to do was go to the Dataset settings online and rename the data set to match the name of the .pbix file I had downloaded. Then publishing it from the desktop app again prompted with the expected "do you wish to replace the existing", which of course I did and it's successful.

In my case, I had to change the name of the online report and pbix report file so that it didn't match the dataset name. Then I was allowed to publish / overwrite the report, then change the name back. 

 

Awesome handle CmdrKeene!
