According to an expert (my wife the SQA person who tested MacDraw II 
under System 7.0) MacDraw II 1.1v2 should work fine with System 7.0.
Testing was limited to checks for functionality of the product under
that system. She says that she found no problems with VM, she hedges
a bit on 32-bit addressing (it seems to work fine but it hasn't been
tested to the limits).She didn't have a chance to *thoroughly* test it 
(they're busy testing the new MacDraw Pro), but never found any serious
problems with it.

Claris Tech Support may have given you the advisory based on the fact
that a really thorough test wasn't performed. It's probably good advice.
