There's an option at Settings > My Music > Filter Contributor Roles. I
think if you set it to "Show all albums and tracks for an artist" you'll
see the first behavior in both instances.

But yes, there does appear to be a bug. The compilation albums should
not appear for artists with a TRACKARTIST role when browsing Album
Artists with the option set to "Only show tracks or albums matching the
selected role for an artist". If you're not going to list albums where
the contributor has a TRACKARTIST role, then the compilations should not
be listed.

I have a feeling, though, that an attempt to fix this might also
suppress compilation albums where the artist _does_ appear as an album
artist. Something to watch out for. We already have 'this bug'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18130), which demonstrates
the challenges with the current database organization.
