In my experience, improved quality is the key thing to come out of it (other than the book sales, yes). Things like pair-programming and test-driven development have a fair amount of up-front cost, but they do result in better code - both objectively as measured by defects found, and subjectively by anyone making subsequent changes.
As to why security doesn't appear in books on agile development, I'd not expect it to - it's something developers have to be aware of, but has nothing to do with the methodology used to develop it.
