I just relaxed the new options whitelisting requirements for 2.7.  Try
your plugin again with the latest from trunk, it should work again.
If not, let us know.

In the future, WP will require that all options be registered.
Currently, any plugin that wants to be compatible with WordPress MU
needs to register their options.  See the register and whitelist
functions here:
