Sure, it's expected that a new feature in 7.2 doesn't work in 7.1 :-) That's
the case for any new feature. A close example is e.g. contextual spacing,
obviously if you use that new feature, then old versions won't be able to
render it. We're backwards compatible, not forward-compatible.

The bugreport is about if we can introduce workarounds to have a markup that
looks better on 7.1, without modifying 7.1. I understand the benefit of that,
although doesn't like to introduce hacks for something new. I'll think about
how to implement this, this would mean that loext:margin-gutter has to be taken
into account when importing fo:margin-top, fo:margin-left and fo:margin-right.
Sounds like a huge amount of work, but perhaps later I or somebody else will
came up with a creative idea how to do this.
