What also could have happened is that between a bunch of fantail fry there were a few that had the bumpy appearance on their heads, and the Chinese figured that it looks good, so they kept breeding just those fish with the appearing "bumps".
That theory is the most possible IMO, and with each generation, the "bumps" get bigger and thus the wen was born
