I might try that, although that doesn't seem logical. I wouldn't expect
an artist with an added contributor role or 'ARTIST' to appear among the
album artists. I was thinking that possibly having 'Various Artists' as
the ALBUMARTIST for a non-compilation might do the trick. Basically, by
changing COMPILATION=1 to 0 on one compilation album.

Haven't you said in the past that you use ALBUMARTIST for things such as
tribute albums? If you had a compilation album that was a tribute to
say, George Gershwin, but he didn't appear anywhere else in the library,
then I would suspect that the behavior I'm seeing would mean that George
Gershwin would not appear in the Album Artists browse list.
