Album view does not render correctly after synced changes

Question

I was correcting the album rendering of some soundtrack albums today and noticed that albums do not group correctly across computers when the metadata is synced using Match.  I am hoping someone can confirm they get the same results and possibly offer a fix.
Problem
Forcing a compilation album to render as a single album instead of multiple albums by setting the "Album Artist" and "Part of Compilation" fields does not sync across computers despite the fact that all of the relevant metadata syncs correctly.
Setup
Laptop and Desktop sitting next to each other.  Both running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8 logged into the same iTunes account for all services.  (I am curious about running the experiment on all Macs or cross-platform, but all I have are PCs.)
Experiment
Step 1- Pick an album with various artists such as a soundtrack and confirm that it renders as one complete album in "Album" view in iTunes on both computers.
Step 2- Using the desktop, select all songs on the album and change the "Album Artist" field to be blank on all of them by selecting that field and removing the text in that field.  Also set "Part of Compilation" on the "Options" tab to "No".  Click OK and the album should be rendered as multiple albums for each track on the soundtrack.  It is easiest to see this by staying in "Album" view and searching for the album name in the search tool in the upper right corner of iTunes.
Step 3- Go to the laptop and search for the album name in the "Album" view.  It will still be rendered as 1 album instead of multiple albums for each track as it is on the desktop.  Click on any song on the album and confirm that the "Album Artist" field is blank and "Part of Compilation" is clear (the metadata should sync within a few seconds).  With these settings, the album should render as multiple tracks- not a single album.  Closing and re-opening iTunes, updating Match or updating Genius does not re-render the album view as separate albums.
Step 4- Using the laptop, set the "Album Artist" field back to "Various Artists".  The desktop will get that update, but not re-render the album as single album.  The only way to "fix" the desktop is to reset the "Album Artist" field to "Various Artists" from the desktop.
My Conclusion
iTunes renders album views only when a change is made that would result in a change to the view and that rendering is only stored locally.  iTunes does not correctly update album rendering when new meta-data that should cause a change in the view is received via Match.  This is a problem because you cannot fix an album rendering on one computer and have that correction sync to your other computers.  You have to "fix" the view on each computer individually.
Possible Workaround
Turn off iTunes Match and remove the iTunes database and all music on all computers but one.  Using the one computer, make all required fixes and then recreate the iTunes database using Match on each of the other computers.
Any help or comments is much appreciated.

Answer 1

I have the same problem with PDFs created in Illustrator CS3. The bitmaps inside the PDF get rendered wrongly -- inverted or decolored.
One fix is to use ZIP instead of JPEG for the compression method when saving the file as an Adobe PDF.
I think it is a bug in Preview 5 (already filed it with Apple). With Preview 4.2 (Leopard) or using Acrobat 8.1.3, the PDF renders fine.
