Is that an IO-FE or a PA-FE?  We have both running just fine (IO-2FE/E 
and single PA-FE-TX) with NPE-400s and 12.2(14)S and 12.2(14)S3.

To add a minor detail to all the praise: the "show int" counters still
get stuck every now and then on 12.2(14)S*, and need to be restarted with
"clear counter <interface>".  But that's so common that I didn't even 
think of it.  The other problem (CT3 counters) affects SNMP and show int, 
and is much worse.
