> because here in Chile, with no iTunes match, my US iTunes Match is working fine (but a great internet connection.)

From what I understand, you always had an US account in all the countries you were living. My wife had an US account when we moved to Australia, and it was not possible to access all the content purchased with that account. We confirmed the blocking had to do with the IP address by connecting temporarily through US-based proxies.

It was very difficult to change the US account to be Australia-based. Once this happened we had to re-purchase some apps, but in the end it worked.

My point being that yes: you do find issues when changing the region your Apple account is associated with.

It is not a problem exclusive to Apple. Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, all of them fail in one way or another.
