It's not a "breakage" introduced in 2.7. Please accept that the problem
exists since forever and it just coincidently works. There is a bug
report (18833) which exactly reports that for 2.5.1 too.

Maybe you're using an already partially patched crosscompiler. It should
be 100% reproducible on *any* fpc version when using the arm-linux
compiler for arm-android.
If it works, you are consistently really lucky.
