Being one of the lucky ones to own a Galaxy S4, I have had the privilege of running the Android 4.3 Leak.
(You can read more about THAT: HERE!)
It seems that there is an additional protection on the nfc secure element. If a ROM has been deodexed it will fail a tamper protection check, and refuse to grant access. Applications like google wallet use this to securely store, access, and transmit data using the NCF chip. Now, since this is a google branded release it is somewhat concerning that the protection is showing up. This could still be the influences of Samsung on the device, but that still remains to be seen. I eagerly await the release of additional Android 4.3 updates, and as always only time will tell if this is a new feature of 4.3 or if it is vendor specific.
In the mean time here is a writeup on how to bypass this new protection:

Anyone else seeing this on previous versions maybe later versions of 4.2.2?
