So which gammas are emitted in the first case, and what would you expect if the
reaction were 7-Li + H* --> 8-Be --> 2 4-He?

...and how do you know that the first reaction isn't really:-

7-Li + D* --> 8Li (neutron transfer) + p (wanders off) --> 8-Be --> 2 4-He,
making use of trace D in the H?
Does the reaction rate change if you incrementally add D to the H?

...so you detect pairs of positron annihilation gammas?
