Please give it a try if you have time I am not sure why it would not work just trying to isolate it to the device. Please post if it works for you

Looks like all is well - also, after looking through the instructions I thought I would simplify things a wee bit... made a few flashables that did much of the heavy lifting for me. I used method 2, and DLed the nfc flashable zip and the googlewallet apk you linked. From those I made three zips - 1 to install things, 1 to finish install if it worked, and 1 to undo everything if for whatever reason it didn't work.
The first installer zip does the following:
- Makes a backup of the 4 lib files and the 1 /system/etc xml file, and of the current build.prop
- Installs the lib/etc files and sets permissions and what not
- Edits build.prop w/ nexus info posted in your OP (permission sets this as well, though likely not needed)
- Copies over linked google wallet apk (renamed GoogleWallet.apk for clarity on my part) and sets permissions
- Wipes dalvik-cache
The finisher zip just replaces the edited build.prop with the one that was backed up by the first zip
The undo zip just replaces everything that was backed up and deletes the googlewallet apk, sets permissions, and wipes dalvik-cache
I copied your steps and edited them below to show what I did
1. Make sure you don't have the wallet apk installed and if you do, wipe the data and cache of the app, then uninstall or if you have it in the system, delete it.
----- I never had it installed on the note II (did on my gnex though) so this part was easy
2. Make sure you turn off "auto-update" in the play store for the wallet app.
----- I tend to not have anything auto-update, so easy again
3. Instead of what you had here, I flashed the installer zip I put together
----- This combined steps 3-11
12. Open the wallet app and start the setup. it might take some time, so be a bit patient. (MAKE SURE NFC IS ENABLED)
----- Yep, made sure NFC was enabled, turned off wifi, opened it, and it took some time
13. Once the "setting up wallet for purchases" is set up (you should see the credit card you have on file).
DO NOT REBOOT UNTIL WALLET IS COMPLETELY SET UP AND READY FOR USE
----- Yep
14. Reboot again, just so you can test
----- Sure did
15. go back to wallet to see if everything is working well.
----- It worked
16. Here I just flashed the finisher zip
----- replaced my edited build.prop w/ the original
17. Reboot one last time to make sure everything worked.
----- Sure did, and it did
So it seemed to work - and OP let me know if you want those zips to simplify things, totally your call.
