Do I need to create a developer provisioning profile which contains the machine UUID or every beta tester? Does then the beta tester have to do the (slightly painful) thing of installing those profiles? Are there any official or unofficial guides for this?

You do, either a development or adhoc distribution profile, the iCloud bit doesn't really change it a lot, you have to give all the testers a profile they have to install either way, just that that profile needs to also have the iCloud permissions baked in. You can be fairly wildcard about the actual iCloud URL you're using in development profiles (and I assume in ad hoc distribution ones to but I've not tried). I now have one iCloud development profile which has permissions to both the domains I use and I add 'testing' on (ie com.yourdoman.testing). I then make all my test apps work relative to a URL like that (com.yourdomain.testing.app1), in that way I can give the one single profile to anyone I want to test with and it'll work. For the real app I do something more custom.

That I don't know, I haven't yet got an iCloud app working well enough for myself that I've tried putting it through review. I'm sure they do test it though.
