   |Yes, that works on Java8, I can now access the FIPS-mode server using 
   |diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 .
   |But it still fails on Java7, I assume because it can not generate keys > 
   |1024?

For a long time, Sun(and Oracle)'s default JCE provider had not
supported the long key for DH.  It may be worth trying other JCE provider
like BouncyCastle on Java7.

   |Does this mean it will be hopeless to use JSch to connect to a FIPS-mode 
   |server on Java7 (that's mostly all I have here)?

Does FIPS mode allow to use ecdh-sha2-nistp*?  We have succeeded to
support ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography)[1] defined in RFC5656[2],
and that functionality will be available on Java7.
