I wouldn't say it is broken in D7 - I think that's an intentional design choice on their part. I also think you would have a difficult time getting the core developers to change it. I would suggest that in the case where you bootstrap it yourself, that you just define DRUPAL_ROOT in your own script if you aren't calling index.php first. If you are including bootstrap.inc you would know where the directory path was to include it.
