In your original example, would it work to put a special
"switch-thread breakpoint" at the PC of thread 7, so it forces
a thread switch on your target, and then continue hardware
single-stepping from there when it is hit?  With care,
it seems this could be hidden entirelly on the stub/target side.

(I'm still curious on how this worked on 6.7.1 though)
