It appears that issue was fixed in 10.9 Mavericks.

That message generally indicates an other problem: Apple's crappy 
drivers. They are worse than AMD's worst, which is an astonishing 
achievement. Ensure you've got latest OS updates. The drivers are slowly 
getting better although I think I saw a regression in latest update a 
couple days ago. There's unfortunately nothing you can do about it 
unless we find workarounds for *their* bugs that we can implement. You 
can verify this by using some other device, eg. --dev=cpu which almost 
always works.

However, in your case there *is* something you can do: Use the latest 
version from Git instead. Snapshot tarball:

Here's a MBPR (Mavericks) running that version:

$ ../run/john -test -form:wpapsk-opencl -dev=2
Device 2: GeForce GT 650M
Local worksize (LWS) 1024, Global worksize (GWS) 65536
Benchmarking: wpapsk-opencl, WPA/WPA2 PSK [PBKDF2-SHA1 OpenCL]... DONE
