A couple people reported having issues but even they have said that the problem seems to have gone away, possibly fixed by one of the firmware updates. -- Ken

I just got a call from FedEx today saying my 7D has arrived in Calgary, now I just have to deal with customs and get to play with it soon!  I tried it briefly to do some testing, I didn't see any problems seemed to work fine. 5D III, 24-105mm f/4 L, 135mm f/2 L, 70-200mm f/4 IS L, 580EX II

Off camera in manual works fine. I don't use off camera ETTL, I prefer the consistency of manual.
