Yes, it does.  When it comes to sorting albums by artist it picks one,
I think maybe the first one found in the tags.

I find that it's better to treat them as a group/duo in my tags and
then place the individual artists in ARTIST tags.  It does tend to
clutter up the Artist list, but an advantage is that you get to dictate
where the album is sorted by using the ALBUMARTISTSORT/TSO2 tag.

ALBUMARTIST=Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
ALBUMARTISTSORT=Plant, Robert & Krauss, Alison
ARTIST=Robert Plant
ARTIST=Alison Krauss

I end up with an artist list with stuff like this:

Stan Getz
Stan Getz & João Gilberto
Stan Getz & Lionel Hampton
Stan Getz & Oscar Peterson
Stan Getz & Cal Tjader
