I'm happy to answer my own question. 1) Can't blame Windows!
2) When the Nexus 7 is plugged in there is a persistent notification that indicates "CONNECT AS / Media Device (MTP)". In this state adb devices will not show the Nexus. Not exactly obvious why, but I you select the second option "Camera (PTP)" the device is available for debugging. This choice is persistent, and I'm guessing that with a band new device it will connect as MTP until told otherwise.
