I noticed the same thing. In my case, I was using the N1MM software
and it refused to log the QSO at first. After a moment's puzzling it
over, I realized it would not accept a KL7 call with a state as the
exchange. I added the /W7 to the call sign and then N1MM accepted it. 

In other words, I would suggest changing the log entry and then
exporting the Cabrillo file. I doubt if the contest sponsors would
argue.
