Mappings in general definitely work in 7.4. This is a VERY basic feature and 7.4 has been under development for months. Somebody would have noticed if they stopped working at all.

This mapping is faulty. You have an unbalanced number of parentheses, resulting in the final <CR> being commented out.

In 7.3.822, when I press <F7> with this mapping, I get:

E121: Undefined variable: test
E15: Invalid expression: test.txt"

So, I suspect you have a typo in your example mapping. Do you have an actual mapping that used to work, and no longer works?
