I was so disappointed by customer delays to upgrade that I haven't looked at
this possibility.
But you're right the psycopg2 FAQ states that 7.* should works. 
Thanks to point this: you make my day!

Could you elaborate a bit about "per definition the actual PostgreSQL..."? 
I mean is there a special sauce or did they follow some guidelines, rules...
or PostgreSQL properties that warranty such ability of the psycopg2 drivers
to work with different versions?

There is no question about the need to upgrade. 
But they have 50 client/server apps to check... and resource issues to do
the work before I could land there. But with your tip, I don't think I
should really care: we could totally disconnect new stuff delivery from
database upgrade.
