This behavior of <C-N> and <C-P> is not new, it was the same befor, too,
not only in Vim 7. It is not wise to change it and BTW, it is a good
behavior for most people.

If you don't want your typed characters to be replaced by the first
completion, just add a mapping like this:
inoremap <C-Space> <C-N><C-P>
and it won't be replaced. If you type, then the list of possible
completions gets smaller. You still have to select the correct entry by
yourself, but if I understand you correctly, this might be very near to
that, which you seem to want.
Best wishes,
