I'm using Quartus II Version 11.0 Build 157 04/27/2011 SJ Web Edition.
I suppose this is the latest version.

That sounds recent enough.

My programmer is Altera USB-Blaster, because I already have it. Didn't read anything about any incompatibility with the new MAX V CPLD's, but also haven't read about its compatibility...

The USB-Blaster you have must be working fine, since it reads the silicon ID.
How did you create the file you are trying to download?
I just tried using the Quartus 9.1 programmer to open a .pof download file for a Cyclone IV (which would be unsupported in that version), and it gives the error that EP4CE22F17C7 is not supported (this is the BeMicro-SDK FPGA).
If Quartus 11.0 did not support your device, then I would expect to see a similar error.
Does the JTAG programmer 'auto detect' the correct part number?
Altera has recently screwed-up their part IDs, with some devices now having the same silicon IDs. For example Quartus 9.1 auto-detected the Cyclone IV device as a EP3C25.
Perhaps your programming file was created for a difference device ID. Check that your design project has the correct part number.
