Thanks for your patience while I investigated these issues. Here's
some detail on them:

370279 "Bad property order in for in loop" - best approached by a Map
factory for ScriptableObject as has been discussed in 383592 - "Switch
to HashMap for ScriptableObject property storage" which I think is too
big a change to put in this release
368019, 369860, 389278 (various regexp issues) - best addressed by
390659 "Replace Rhino regexp implementation with java.util.regex to
improve performance", assuming that the regexp languages recognized by
Java and JavaScript are compatible (I haven't analyzed this).
412247: now implemented
392593: fixed
374918 - String primitive prototype wrongly resolved when used with
many top scopes. If this has a workaround can we leave things as-is?

So my proposal is that we wrap up 1.7R1 and then look at
implementation of 383592 and 390659. I'm willing to finish off 383592
but I'd need help with 390659.

How does that sound to you on HtmlUnit?
