I've been using nvm install unstable under the assumption that it would essentially get me node@next, which at time of writing is v7. However, I'm getting a much older version. Am I not using the right command here, or does this functionality not actually exist?

That's an incorrect assumption. The terms "stable" and "unstable" no longer apply to node, since everything in semver is "stable". 0.11.x was the last "unstable" line, and "stable" points to the latest.

nvm does not support installing an unreleased version of node.

Please see #1053 for the feature request to install nightlies (which is what you want; v7 doesn't exist yet).
