I have an EMI set of the Klemperer Bruckners - recommendable 4th and 6th. He had me for the first 3 movements of the 7th, then he loses focus and continuity in the last movement - completely episodic. Haven't heard the 5th, 8th or 9th yet.
I have heard the 5th conducted live by Blomstedt and in recordings by Haitink, Harnoncourt, Jochum, and van Beinum and for me your assessment of that symphony as a problem child is right on.
