I examined a compilation album for me in my MySQL DB.  I have entered 
COMPILATION=1 and don't have an Album Artist tag.  In the DB, the tracks have 
contributor role = 1 (standard Artist role), NOT role = 6 (Track Artist).  I 
think the DB only holds the artists as Track Artist role when the album has an 
Album Artist.  When COMPILATION=1, it doesn't set an album artist contributor 
role.

Not sure that helps at all, but thought I'd include that as an example in case 
it sparks any ideas from any one.

Just a thought: what setting value have you chosen for the option: "My Music > 
Filter genres at the album & track level."?  Maybe that makes a difference?
