Found this post in one of the HDMI 1.3 threads over at the avs forum. If this is true, it's not worth holding out for an HDMI 1.3 receiver.

It has been discussed on other threads that all HDDVDs have been mastered in enhanced (or it might have some other name) mode so the TrueHD HAS to be decoded in the player. It has also been stated that no studios have plans to author any HDDVD in a non enhanced mode, so based on this even if you have a 1.3 receiver it won't be doing the decoding of the audio anyways.
