Your example wasn't clear to me initially, but I think I understand what you 
mean by "Track artist can't see artist" now, following your second example of 
compilation album track artists.  I think in actual fact, I raised a bug 
similar to this a while back myself.  See if this makes sense to you, and 
whether you think it's the same issue:

Essentially, when clicking on an artist link, I'd expect to always see all 
albums by that aritst, not just the albums where the artist appears with the 
contributing role selected.

eg. If you click a track artist, you only see other albums that contain that 
artist as a track artist (and not as an artist, album artist, band, composer or 
conductor).
