When looking at the code, it seems like for FLAC and MP3 there is a
mapping from "ALBUM ARTIST" to "ALBUMARTIST", as far as I can see the
same mapping does not exist for OGG, I wonder if that's the issue.
I'm not sure if the standard says that the tag should be named
"ALBUMARTIST" or "ALBUM ARTIST" ?
It might be worth a try and see if it works better if you rename the
tag to "ALBUMARTIST". If that works, it's probably worth a bug report
to make it consistent so OGG works the same as FLAC and MP3.
A quick look at the code indicates that this probably will work the
same in 7.5 and 7.6
