The latest 4.3 ROM (JWR66Y) patches Mms.apk. I don't know what it changes, but it doesn't resolve the MMS download issue on XT. I've re-applied my changes to the latest version.
@JamesL - Sorry about the delayed reply. The GZ site didn't send me an email when you posted. I basically figured it out by doing a bit or research. The fact that Go SMS Pro worked with the same MMS APN settings seemed really strange. I tried searching around some more to see if the N4 was having issues on other networks. Some guys on a US carrier were complaining about receiving really small pictures, which they could work around using Go SMS Pro. Then I came across http://lazydroid.com/2012/04/howto-send-and-receive-mms-on-galaxy-nexus-softbank/. After that I started looking into the workings of MMS, UAProfURLs and UserAgents. From there, I figured I had a good idea about what was causing the problem, so took a crack at fixing it.
If everyone who's encountered this problem could star the bug I've reported (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58101) it'll help bring it to Google's attention. There's a good chance it will affect future Nexus devices too if it's not resolved.

Not encountered (I don't own an N4) but still starred. It's the sort of thing that should be fixed!
Did anyone get to the bottom of this from Telecom / Spark?? I just got a new Xiaomi Mi 4i using Lollipop running on Skinny with the same problem. Can send MMS but not recieve. Skinny seems to use the old telecom APNs these days but even changing them to the skinny ones makes no difference. This is a dual SIM phome and I have a 2degrees SIM in slot 2 and that works fine both ways. With my nexus 4 I installed Go SMS pro but it doesn't appear to be an option with the Mi software as will not allow you to change the default messaging app or the default app launcher..
It's just doing a software update now so it will be interesting to see what changes.
This is not a biggy as I very seldom use SMS or MMS but Whatsapp.
