I upgrade to P7 few days ago, and today I'm switching to Fusion 4 hope to never become Parallel's customer again. (Unrelated note, it took Parallels 7 hours to send me an upgrade key after purchase while it only took VMware 3 hours to answer my question regarding Fusion 4.)
"Upgrades for the following products: View 5, Fusion 4, Workstation 8, Site Recovery Manager 5, and vFabric will be available on the licensing portal by the week of 9/19. If you have questions, please contact License support."
So maybe upgrade prices will be available next week.
I've been experiencing the same issue...this was the response from tech support.
"As I understand the issue that since upgrading from 6 to 7, OSX now requires login twice with filevault2 startup volume, and takes much longer to boot.
I regret the inconvenience caused.
In order to resolve the issue, please follow the steps given below:
1. Click on Apple icon on Menu bar and select 'System Preferences'.
2. Under 'Personal' you can see an option 'Security & Privacy' click on it.
3. Select 'FileVault' tab there you can see 'Turn off FileVault'.
Really, that is their solution? Ouch!
[edit - instead of replying to myself]
In any case, I'll hold off a patch release or two. Heck, I haven't even installed Lion yet on my primary dev machine.

I don't use it as much anymore and don't see 4 as compelling enough to upgrade at full price, so will be passing on it for now.
