Regarding "Browse Album Artists" and "Browse Artists", these are just names to 
represent the browse modes on the UI, and I assume don't directly reflect how 
the list of artists is returned.

I would leave the current "Browse Artists", rather than rename to "Browse Album 
Artists".  This means display only artists that appear at album context - don't 
display artists that only appear on occasional tracks.  It doesn't mean you 
would need to tag every album with an "Album Artist"; the application can do 
the same as it currently does; include "artist" or "album artist" roles, and 
ignore "track artist"; or the scanner could auto-populate album artist if there 
isn't one set (should improve performance of browsing, at the cost of increased 
scan time).  

A new "Browse All Artists" would be better for the other menu name, which would 
show any artist, no matter what role they have?

This can already be achieved by Erlands "Custom Browse" plugin.
