I haven't checked to see what SS is currently doing, but my interpretation of 
the "Filter genres at the album & track level" settings are:

"Only show tracks or albums matching the selected genre for an artist" is 
self-explanatory.  Will only show the tracks that match, not all songs on an 
album if the genres are different on each song.

"Show any tracks & albums for an artist" - I've only ever considered this to 
mean that when browsing an album in "Home > Genres > [genre] > [artist] > 
[album]", all songs within that album will be displayed, if there is at least 
one song with the selected genre.  I suppose it should also show all albums for 
an artist if any song by that artist has the chosen genre.

I always selected the filtered view (the first option), and frankly don't know 
why anyone would want the other option, as they could always navigate to see 
all albums by a matching artist, or all songs on a matching album by using the 
album or artist hyperlinks from the filtered view.  If I had 100 compilation 
albums, one of which was a christmas album, and I browsed by christmas genre, 
I'd only want to see that one album, not all various artist albums, otherwise 
what is the point of browsing by genre?  If I also had a song tagged as 
christmas on another album, I'd only want that song to be listed, such that if 
I hit play on the genre name, it would only play christmas songs.
