If :hover does not work on IE 7 jQuery is not cross browser.
jQuery doesn't and can't support every feature on every browser. Notice that jQuery doesn't try to make border-radius work on IE7 either.
How I can write :hover equivalent for IE 7?
That is a great forum question, but not appropriate for a bug tracker.

you don't need ":hover" equivalent
i think that .hover() function can does much more than your require
see here: http://api.jquery.com/hover/
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
:hover is not a valid jQuery selector: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
However, querySelectorAll, which is used by jQuery on modern browsers, does support the :hover pseudo selector, and as you've seen, works there.
