I suspect that some of my tagging is causing some compilation albums to
appear multiple times, in some cases an album for each track.

In Album Artists, All Artists or are you using the "single configurable artists list" (Settings/My Music)?

What is the selection criteria for a compilation ? (I thought it would
be files in a folder that all have the same data in the Album tag and
but different data in the Artist tag, and/or Compilation set to 1)

This comes pretty close. I'm sure there are some other corner cases, but that's basically it.

But there's not only "ARTIST" as a tag, there's the ALBUMARTIST as well as COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR and BAND tags. You could eg. have an ALBUMARTIST of "Various Artists", but a different ARTIST for every track. Those tracks would create separate items in the All Artists menu.

I suppose that I am asking what tags should be populated for an album
with multiple artists to appear as a single entry in the new
Compilations browse function?

compilation=1 should do it.
