Google Wallet Being Blocked On Custom Roms?

After having google wallet working flawlessly on NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 I decided to try the ICS roms that were available. Everytime I went to set my account back up I would get the message "Error adding Card". So I went back to my backup of NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 where it originally worked. So when I went to wallet it gave me a message saying that my bank had removed my card and to call this number. The man I talked to at google basically informed me that wallet doesn't support custom roms. It goes by the original stock rom ( even though NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 wasn't stock) and the google wallet app knows its on something else. Here is the letter I received from google:

Maybe this is old news to some but I didn't know this. So it looks like google wallet is pretty much useless unless you stay with the same rom? It seems to me though I have seen people post that they signed back in to there original accounts fine after flashing and had there balance still there. Anyone have any idea of a way around this and have gotten there wallet working after flashing from one rom to another?

I've been using Wallet on Bugless Beast GPA19 for some time now without issue, but from the reports I have read from other users, it can be very finicky. It seems that it has to be installed or baked into a ROM with clean data (at least to start). Some folks will get the Market updates for Wallet and others won't. If your device won't update from the Market and you try to manually update to the latest version of Wallet, it can cause Wallet to stop functioning. I actually had this happen to me and I needed to restore a Nandroid to get it working again.
