At present I have it set to "Show any tracks and albums for an
artist."

Maybe we're miscommunicating on browse/filter. When I said I wasn't
filtering I meant that I had the setting referred to above set _not_ to
"filter genres at the album and track level". But I am browsing by
genres, as in Music Library > Genres > Holiday. Is that clearer?

So, after I select Music Library > Genres > Holiday, I can scroll
through a list of artists who have albums with tracks that have
[Genre=Holiday]. And because of my setting shown above, if I 'right
arrow' on an artist, I get a list of all of their albums, both those
with holiday tracks and those without. Like so:

Music Library 
+-> Genres 
+---> Holiday
+-----> The Burns Sisters
+--------> Tradition: Holiday Songs Old & New (holiday)
+-----> Bruce Cockburn 
+--------> Anything Anytime Anywhere (not holiday)
+--------> Christmas (yes holiday)
+--------> Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws (not holiday)
+-----> The Tallis Scholars
+--------> Christmas with The Tallis Scholars (holiday)
+--------> The Complete English Anthems (not holiday)
+-----> All Albums
+--------> All 300+ albums in my library
+-----> Various Artists
+--------> All 30+ compilation albums in my library


And because I'm browsing in the Holiday genre, the only artists that
are listed are those that have a track somewhere in my library with
[Genre=Holiday]. With two big exceptions. "All Albums" shows exactly
what it says: all albums in my library. In other words, "All Albums"
acts just as if I had gone Music Library > Albums, and completely
ignores the fact that I got there via Genres > Holiday. Similarly,
Various Artists shows all my compilation albums, as if I had gone Music
Library > Artists > Various Artists. 

Now if I change the setting to what you have, "Only show tracks or
albums matching the selected genre for an artist" I get the expected
behavior, ie, exactly what you're getting. All of the albums indicated
above as (not holiday) are no longer displayed. And the big thing is
that Genres > Holiday > Various Artists shows only those VA albums with
holiday tracks. And Genres > Holiday > All Albums shows only those
albums with holiday tracks (including VA albums).  

In brief, when set to "Show any tracks and albums for an artist" SC
works as it should for everything *except* All Albums and Various
Artists. For AA and VA, it completely forgets that you are browsing
within a genre. And it happens for all genres, unless (a) there is only
one non-VA album in the genre, in which case "All Albums" and "Various
Artists" are not listed, or (b) there are no VA albums in that genre
(although the AA problem persists).

Sorry for the long-winded post, but obviously I wasn't getting my point
across earlier. I'll update to the latest nightly to see if this has
gone away, but I'd appreciate it if someone would try changing the
"Filter genres at the album & track level" setting and see if they get
the same results. Cheers!
