There were considerable changes made in 6.5 regarding the handling of
compilation albums. For most users compilations are now handled
correctly by slimserver. But then there are some who experience
problems, just like you.

Is there a line "Compilation: YES" on the song info page for the
songs/albums listed under Various artist? 
If that's the case then slimserver thinks these albums are compilations
and doesn't list them under each artist but under the 'Various artist'
entry (coincidently the same as your ALBUMARTIST tags).
Another thought: What happens when you select "List albums by all
artists for that album" (instead of "List albums by band") in Server
settings - Behavior - Compilations?
