using iTunes Match with BeoSound 5

Not for me ... I had to force a download via my iTunes App ... perhaps this feature is only valid in the USoA ?

You mean the net radio stations,  not your itunes content stored on the cloud correct? Ron

You are correct.  For now, iTunes match is only available in the USA.  This is good news for Bang & Olufsen because the brand is not well known in the US and consequently, there probably have been not many downloads of Beoplayer here.  This will give B&O time to fix the problems which are still there.  It won't be long before the iTunes match is deployed elsewhere.  This will happen after Apple works out the agreements with the various music labels in about 80 countries.  Apple will probably do this fairly quickly because they get about $25 USD per subscription on an annual basis.

I do mean the iTunes content stored on the cloud. The latest BeoPlayer app actually shows not only the net radio stations but also all of one's iTunes Match library stored on the iCloud -- complete with cover art! You can seemlessly click on the tracks to download and play from within the BeoPlayer app. This is actually pretty nice.
