Summary: Smart Playlists that use the "Limit to" option are not synced properly onto iOS devices using iTunes Match.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using an iTunes Match-enabled account and iOS device (iPhone 4S in my case), on iTunes create a Smart Playlist with a "Limit to" option. For example, Limit to 10 songs. The other criteria don't matter.
2. Wait a while for playlist to show up on iPhone

Expected Results:
- There should only be 10 songs in the playlist on the phone

Actual Results:
- There are thousands of songs in the playlist

Regression:

Notes:

This makes Smart Playlists almost unusable on an iPhone, including ones that come with iTunes like "Top 25 Most Played".
