I moved from an Indian iTunes account to a US Account a few months ago, and I faced similar problems.
As soon as I migrated my account, I was happy too see that it was working fine. Little did I know that Apple does not transfer "Purchases" into the new account. When I called AppleCare, they told me that I will have to manually go through the history of apps I have bought from my account and download them in the US Store. I won't be charged for the apps but this is still going to be a manual process.
In their words, they do this primarily because some of the apps might not be available in the new location store. I mean, WTF?
The least that Apple has done is that I would still receive update notifications on my iOS devices.
Now, note this scenario that I use the same iTunes Account for my purchases in iTunes and also as my primary Apple Developer account.
The account originally being from India, I did not have access to the option of renewing my Dev account online. I moved on and never thought about this issue again.
Last week, it was time to renew my developer account, and I was happy that at least this time I won't have to fax my details to Apple and it will all be a smooth online payment.
NO. Not the case. My Developer account is still an Indian account as per Apple's records and I had to make the payment using fax.
I hope Apple comes up a solution soon, as the current thing just sucks
