You're right to be concerned; it won't work properly because:

So what you do is get a wheel with a 7spd Shimano
freehub, dismantle the cassette, and take 0.2mm off the outer three spacers.
Actually, you shouldn't need to worry about the cast-in spacer on the last cog since the derailleur usually sits on the limit screw for that one.
Now I'm wondering if 0.6mm overall discrepancy is worth the trouble... try it normal first.
