I had similar problem.. may be is 0.8 bug? I have to try with older version..
EDIT: nothing to do.. i've tried on 0.7.1 and have the same error :(

there is a lot of factors that could cause this issue, the pn532 can be kinda sensitive, it fails very easy sometimes if you approach too fast or if you move the device too much or if you are simply at the edge of the field, and it really depends what you have around the module and where you have it, anything metal is also a real issue to such magnetic fields.

it's a complex subject really that i unfortunately don't currently have a solution to.
