The rules say "isolated" and the cheklist says "10k ohm" so I see absolutely no reason that 1M would be illegal.

7V? Ignoring any resistance checks, that should be throwing major red flags. If your frame is completely isolated, you should not be able to get any voltage between the battery and frame.

That being said, as many others have said here, talk to the LRI. Though we on CD can debate back and forth for ages on what is/isn't an acceptable level of resistance, our decisions carry no weight. You should never cite a post on CD when talking to officials about rules.
