Yes, this happens fairly often with proprietary drivers. Once upon a time I would spend hours hacking away at the nvidia install scripts and I got pretty good at fixing the problems (always caused by sudden changes to the linux kernel header files) but now I just can't work up enough energy to do it any longer. The nvidia-drivers you need still compile against linux-3.6.11, but no later than that. I know because I use the same drivers. The nvidia devs will eventually get around to patching the kernel drivers for older nvidia hardware, but they're getting slower as the hardware ages.
