I have looked at your debug data for the v7 problem. The problem appears to be:
1) REXXRPC makes various requests of the boinc software for information.
REXXRPC sends a request to the client and the client responds.
2) REXXRPC has been formatting its requests the same way for a very long time.
3) The v7 client, for unknown reasons, does not accept this format any longer.

To test a fix for this, please do the following:
1) Open REXXRPC.CMD in an editor. (Be sure it is the one that will be called by
JBSWU.)
2) At or around line 563 you should find the following 4 lines (watch for word
wrap):
RPC.Cmd.Prefix =   '<boinc_gui_rpc_request>' || RPC.eol || ,
         '   <major_version>5</major_version>' || RPC.eol || ,
         '   <minor_version>2</minor_version>' || RPC.eol || ,
         '   <release>1</release>' || RPC.eol
3) Replace all four lines with the single line:
RPC.Cmd.Prefix =   '<boinc_gui_rpc_request>' || RPC.eol
4) Save the changes.

Let me know if this works (or at least gets farther before crashing).
