Why does this work ok in OS X without much effort and not in Windows 7 you ask? It seems that OS X will automatically forward DNS lookup queries through the SOCKS proxy. Windows doesn't work like this, at least not when using the proxy settings and you specify in IE. It seems someone else a couple posts before this got Safari to work under Windows 7 (and someone else confirmed Chrome works fine as well), so I'm guessing Safari and Chrome will automatically forward DNS lookups through the SOCKS proxy. Firefox has this capability too, but you need to mess with the about:config to turn it on. No clue how to enable this to work with IE, but I doubt many would be using IE with this.
