I would lean towards it being an issue with a missing or misconfigured virtual link.
R7 is a border router touching 2 areas, but not directly connected to area 0. Configuring a virtual link across area 30 should allow the routes to pass. Whether or not a router is the DR for a segment doesn't matter. R5 would still be able to exchange route information with the DR, if R5 had the information locally.

My suspicion is that the problem stems from both areas 10 & 30 peering with r5, which is not the DR (nor ever will be) for the area 0 frame cloud. Can anyone shed some light on this?
