I think Mark meant to say *put true into tMatch* before the repeat.

What about (and this is again typing code into an email without testing ;-):

repeat with x = 1 to 5
    put (the background of grp ("A"&x) of grp "A" \
        =  the background of grp ("A"&x) of grp "B") \
        after tMatch
end repeat
if "false" is in tMatch then "AnswerB"
else "AnswerA"

Which is probably exactly what JimA is saying and why he says he can see
initializing tMatch with empty, before the repeat.
