I got it confused with my other bike, a Team Stuttgart Merckx that has those same brifters but on Sante (7-speed) hubs. I guess the guy I bought it from must have manipulated the limit screws to get the 8 speed brifters to work with the 7 speed freewheel.

You have a keen eye. Thank you.
8sp shifters will work fine with 7sp - or 5 or 6, for that matter - spacing was all the same.
