It should...
Make sure you don't have $wgWhitelistRead set, and if you do, make sure
the login page is in the whitelist.

Nope, $wgWhitelistRead is not in my LocalSettings.php

The only Whitelist options I have are:
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 );

Can anyone else confirm or counter this behavior with 1.3?

I've noticed the same problem.
My config is:
$wgWhitelistEdit = true; # true = user must login to edit.
$wgWhitelistRead = false;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );

In fact it seemed to be working until I used the Sysop account to create
a user (using the Special:Userlogin page).
From that point on, it was impossible to login, I would systematically get:
Sysop access required
The action you have requested can only be performed by users with
"sysop" status

It seems this bug was introduced just prior to the 1.3.0 release. Seems
to have been reverted already, so will be fixed in 1.3.1 which I'll push
out shortly.
