I also see this problem in Delphi 7.

I also tried to use ifdefs in the unit list in the dpr file. However, when Delphi saves the project, those ifdefs are deleted without warnings. This makes it impossible to have conditional units in the dpr file.

Same for comments
Same for INCLUDES, could be handy if they were not removed. Trying to use an include file to include a submodule into the dpr (so that you dont have to maintain several dprs when one submodel changes) but this behaviour makes it impossible. Delphi should respect my include (and push the contents into the dproj as wel)
