I'd say if it used to work in 6.7 and it doesn't work in 7.0 and the change is not mentioned in the Release Notes, you should file a bug report. RunRev will decide if it's a documentation bug or a software bug. Since the whole area of text processing changed so much in 7.0, I could certainly see that something like this might get overlooked.
