It seems Oracle have released a patch (5758865) , available on MetaLink, with the fix for IE7. This is a one-off patch and requires a password which means you will have to raise a service request and tell Oracle you are having trouble drilling in Viewer when using IE7. This patch is applicable whether you are using relational or OLAP modeling.
The downside of this patch is that it can only be applied on top of 10.1.2.2. You can get the 10.1.2.2 patch (4960210) also on MetaLink. Be warned though that 10.1.2.2 is not a small patch. It is 1.6 GB in size and is a full upgrade of the 10.1.2.0.2 application server.
Has any body applied the 10.1.2.2 patch yet? I'd be interested in hearing how it went and how long it took. I ask because the installation instructions, when downloaded in Word, are a staggering 189 pages.

Michael, I have installed the 10.1.2.2 patch. Although the install instructions are long, it went without a hitch.
Basically you first apply the Database 10.1.0.5 patch. Then you patch the midtier and infra software. Lastly, you update the Metadata repository.
Hi Manish
Thanks for the information. I guess I need to upgrade myself now.
Hi,
This patch is one of a kind. The overall process is smooth and stop services before, restart everything after; well, the kind we ever wanted from Oracle !
Happy patching !

Hi Red
Upgrading to 10.1.2.2 and then applying the most recent cumulative patch will allow IE7 to work correctly.
Best wishes

Hi Red
Let me know how you get on.

I just fixed this problem in my 10.1.2.0.2 installation, with no need to install a complete patchset. (Pheeww...)
Check this note for instruction on how to get a one-off patch without the 10.1.2.2 requirement:
"Subject: Drilling With Discoverer Viewer 10g (10.1.2) Using Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Fails With Javascript Error"
Doc ID: 422575.1
Just thought this might help someone...
