Have you tried changing it to 'REM ALBUMARTIST'? Yes, that is the assumption: the PERFORMER tag near the top of the file and that comes before any TRACK records ought to be interpreted as the ALBUMARTIST. That's how all cuesheets are constructed and other software (e.g. FB2K) interprets cuesheets in exactly that fashion.
I performed a little experiment: I broke the VA albums into track-per-flacs and tagged the track-flacs with "ALBUMARTIST=Ropartz, J G". After a wipe 'n scan, the all-artists list shows up exactly as I hoped it would: "Various Artists" "Koechlin, C" "Ropartz, J G" 2nd experiment: removing the track-per-flacs and adding a: REM ALBUMARTIST "Ropartz, J G" ..to the embedded cuesheet in the VA album. Result: That ALBUMARTIST tag doesn't get picked up by the scanner and "Ropartz, J G" gets dropped from the list of artists. 3rd experiment: Add an ALBUMARTIST tag directly to the flac via metaflac. Result: Monsieur Ropartz is back. So...I was wrong: there is no deficiency in the VA listing logic. It behaves exactly as expected. But there does seem to be a deficiency in the cuesheet scanner. It doesn't seem to create ALBUMARTIST and TRACKARTIST role records for VA cuesheets. The cuesheet scanner needs to be fixed so that it either recognizes ALBUMARTIST tags or recognizes that the non-track-related PERFORMER tag is an ALBUMARTIST in VA albums. How would you guys characterize this?
