"RECIPROCAL STATES: North Dakota concealed weapons licenses are recognized in the following states and a concealed weapon license issued by any state listed below is recognized in North Dakota, so long as the weapon is carried in accordance with North Dakota’s laws."
Looking at the list Florida, is clearly listed. The reference to "This state does not recognize non-resident concealed weapon licenses issued by ND" refers to FL accepting the ND permit. Not the other way around. From what I see the foot notes are commenting on requirements FL would have on a ND permit holder.
I think the confusion may be this:
ATTENTION: Effective 8-1-2013 ND concealed weapon licenses issued to residents of non-reciprocal states are invalid.

FWIW, I asked the following of the NoDak AG:
Dear Attorney General.
There is concern and confusion among Minnesota firearm owners with regard to the recent changes in North Dakota law permitting the carry of firearms by non-residents.
While it is clear that a Minnesota resident can not currently acquire a North Dakota handgun carry permit, the question remains:
Can a Minnesota resident carry a handgun in North Dakota if that resident is in possession of a permit from a state with which North Dakota recognizes reciprocity; i.e: Florida or Arizona?
Asked another way:
Does a non-resident need a North Dakota permit, or, will a non-resident permit from a state observing North Dakota reciprocity suffice?
Thank you in advance for the clarification.
Regards,

The answer I received was to see the web page I linked to:
Office of Attorney General
Please refer to the website: http://www.ag.nd.gov/BCI/CW/CW.htm. This website contains information on which states have reciprocity with North Dakota and those state licenses/permits that North Dakota does recognize to legally allow carrying of a concealed weapon.
I hope this information is helpful.

Taking it at face value, the possession of a FLA or AZ permits, among others perhaps, appear to make it leagal for a MN resident to carry in NoDak.
But as always:
IANAL, remember what you paid for this advice.
