You make some good points, although I think #1 and #3 are just plain
oddly tagged and asking for problems.

I think you're probably right - only contributors in TrackArtist (or
Artist) roles should be listed for a track (in album track listings, Now
Playing, and Current Playlist).  The only reason I can see to list both
AlbumArtists and TrackArtists for a track  would be if someone were
tagging tracks with guest artists as follows:

ALBUMARTIST=Johnny Cash
ARTIST=Flea

Where they'd see only "Flea".  Tagging the same track:

ALBUMARTIST=Johnny Cash
ARTIST=Johnny Cash
ARTIST=Flea

Would mean that Johnny Cash has roles of both AlbumArtist and
TrackArtist.  Displaying only the TrackArtists would give "Johnny Cash,
Flea".
