~~Quiz doesn't use field_update_instance in update hooks, in fact there is no update called "7401" anywhere in quiz module.~~

~~This must be for another module?~~

Nevermind, I found it:
quiz_question_update_7401();

Did you delete the "body" field on questions before you updated?

No. I have seen it fail on two separate installations trying to upgrade earlier versions of 4.x

This issue can be fixed by disableing all quiz sub-modules and ONLY enabling quiz, quiz questions and quiz pages, clearing caches and running the db update. It works. See issue:
