What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

This is not a bug. Please keep GitHub issues for bug reports / feature requests. Better avenues for troubleshooting / questions are stack overflow, gitter, mailing list, etc.

As pointed out by @donroyco, this is not a bug. Even though the Object you passed to selectedCountry looks like countries[1], they are different objects so the select wouldn't know which option to display.

In order to select any of the options, you have to select one of the objects you passed to the select, i.e. an Object from the countries list. Here's an updated plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/GmlISyGT3BSBWxAryEiD?p=preview

You can now pass a compareWith function to MdSelect. See https://material.angular.io/components/select/api
