A planeswalker with 7 loyalty counters has:
- a –7 loyalty ability that creates a 5/5 dinosaur token
- a passive ability that makes all summoned dinosaurs enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter.
Would the dinosaur summoned be a 6/6 or a 5/5?
My guess would be 5/5 as the planeswalker dies first, then the ability resolves.

The dinosaur enters the battlefield as a 5/5 because, as you say, the planeswalker will be dead before the ability resolves. This is the exact sequence of events:
- You activate the planeswalker's ability, removing 7 loyalty counters to pay the ability's cost.
- The planeswalker dies as a state-based action because it has no loyalty counters.
- The ability resolves and the dinosaur enters the battlefield.

After the loyalty ability goes on the stack, state based actions are being checked; they'll see a planeswalker without loyalty counters and it's put into the graveyard.
The ability will resolve (if nothing else happens) and create a token 'long' after the planeswalker is gone, so it won't enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter.
