Or am I dreaming because I currently hold an unattached old Cat-6 7 night TP?
I think you're right. It seems very likely to me that in cases where there isn't an exact match on point levels in the new program, yes, they will "round up".
And that explains why they're delaying the announcement of the mapping. Since both old cat 6 30K and old cat 7 35K would map to new cat 5 35K, they don't want the current old cat 7 holders calling now to downgrade to old cat 6 to refund the extra points.
