Answering to myself:

The problem seems to be that py2exe thinks QtNetwork.pyd, QtXmlPatterns4.dll 
and QtSvg4.dll from PyQt4.7 are system libraries. The following code has fixed 
the problem for me:

# Override the function in py2exe to determine if a dll should be included
dllList = 
('mfc90.dll','msvcp90.dll','qtnetwork.pyd','qtxmlpatterns4.dll','qtsvg4.dll')
origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
def isSystemDLL(pathname):
    if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in dllList:
        return 0
    return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL
