If I understood the steps correctly, this works here for me, also with 7.0.4.2
on Debian testing:

* set up (dummy) printer with the PPD
* select the printer in print dialog
* go to "Properties"
* select "Use only paper size from printer preferences"
* select paper size "DL Env."
* optionally: select "Paper Tray": "MP/Manual Feeder"
* go to "Device" tab and select "Paper Type" -> "Envelope" (which is present)

Maybe options set in some user-specific ~/.cups/lpoptions might play a role?
You can also try (temporarily) deleting more "UIConstraints" lines from the PPD
for testing to see which one was relevant.

If the PPD value does not appear in your case, this might be the issue
described here.
