Sprint Galaxy S3 - From 4.3 back to 4.1.2? Don't try this at home.

DON'T TRY IT!!!

Users have reported bricking their phones trying this, on Sprint and other carriers/ At this time, view 4.3 as a permanent switch to an unrooted stock ROM.

Good to know. I would assume it's because of the whole new KNOX thing... Now I'm kinda worried about rooting now hopefully they'll find a good way to get rid of KNOX to begin with...

It's KNOX infected, there are devs working on it I know I have no need for it if it ruins everything that I enjoy having a custom ROM.

Yep, it seems to be all related to the Knox bootloader. A typically Samsung approach to providing a service: complex, and with undesirable impacts. Folks on XDA are working on extracting the ROM and modem, in hopes the ROM can be used with the MD4 bootloader.

In he meantime, I've told my wife to not accept the OTA.
