It won't update because it is looking for the stock recovery and you'd need to be unrooted. Best way is to flash the stock 4.1.2 facotry image from Google and flash your custom recovery (TWRP 2.3.1.0 being the current one) and root again.

I've noticed a lot of custom ROM makers are delaying upgrade to 4.1.2 -- probably because rumors are 4.2 is going to be introduced Oct. 29 with the LG Nexus. So, most are just waiting for 4.2 instead of having to do all the work twice.

Most of the more popular roms have made the change already: CyanogenMod, Codename Android, AOKP, AOSP, Black Bean, Paranoid Android, XenonHD, Bugless Beast, RasBean Jelly, EuroSkank JellyBro... just to name a few.
