In Magento 1.7 you have to wrap the params array in a Varien Object.

                $params = array(
                    'product' => $_fancypack->getId(),
                    'qty' => 1,
                    'options' => array(
                        $this->_getOptionId($_fancypack,'Product SKU') => $product->getId() .'/'. $product->getSku()
                    )
                );

                $request = new Varien_Object();
                $request->setData($params);

                $quote->addProduct($_fancypack, $request);
