First, how do you have it set?

Right.  You should expect NOT to see those albums if you have genre
filtering set to "Only show tracks or albums that matchint the selected
genre for the artist".

This is the part I'm not understanding.  You're _not_ filtering by
genre?  Then why do expect albums with non-matching genres to be
filtered out?  The setting only applies to browsing by genre.  When you
browse by artist or by album then there will be no filtering.
