Since you are still in a ring with 8 (and not 4) variables.

Apparently x2,x3,... are still generators of your original polynomial
ring P -- and P has 8 variables, even though the new system of
polynomials e uses only four of them. Defining a new ring with only
the "surviving" variables has the expected result:

sage: P.<x2,x3,x6,x7> = PolynomialRing(GF(2), 4, 'x',order='lex')
sage: e = [x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3,
....:  x3*x7 + x3 + x7,
....:  x2*x7 + x6 + 1,
....:  x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1,
....:  x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7,
....:  x2*x6 + x2*x7 + x3*x7 + x3,
....:  x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7,
....:  x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3,
....:  x2*x7 + x3 + x6 + x7 + 1,
....:  x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7,
....:  x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7]
sage: I=ideal(e)
sage: I.dimension()
0
sage: I2=ideal(I.groebner_basis())
sage: V=I2.variety()
sage: V
[{x2: 0, x7: 0, x6: 1, x3: 0}]


Substitution of variables in a polynomial ideal *and* carrying it to a
smaller polynomial ring seems to be a common problem.
The subs-method does the substitution but keeps the ring:

sage: I.subs({x2:0})
Ideal (x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3, x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x7 + x6 +
1, x3*x6 + x3*x7 + x3 + x6 + 1, x2*x7 + x3*x6 + x7, x2*x6 + x2*x7 +
x3*x7 + x3, x2*x7 + x2 + x3*x7 + x3 + x7, x2*x6 + x3*x6 + x3, x2*x7 +
x3 + x6 + x7 + 1, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x7, x2*x6 + x2 + x3*x6 + x3 + x7) of
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x2, x3, x6, x7 over Finite Field of
size 2

Question to everybody:
Is there a method that substitutes, say, x2=0 and returns an ideal in
a polynomial ring over x3, x6, x7?
If not, do you agree that such method (called, say, "specialisation")
would be useful?

Cheers
