And a clarification as to why this is the case: if you have a tribute
album that is composed of a dozen artists all playing Dylan songs, you
may wish to set the Album Artist to Dylan in order to file it
"correctly" (ie, as a record store would usually file it -- just
because Bono sings one track on it, that doesn't make it a U2 album,
and the VA bin at the record store would be a mess if it was filled
with every tribute album).

So Album Artist overrides any sort of compilation check: you've said,
"Yes, I know this looks like a dozen artists, but please file it over
there".

Unless you override that override with COMPILATION to say "yeah, yeah,
go put it into VA anyway".
