Yes, sounds similar. Someone in there specifically mentions 'ALBUMARTIST'
fields overwriting the sort field in the database.

I tag my albums automatically using data from the MusicBrainz service. I
always tag the 'ALBUMARTIST' with the artist name returned for the album
from MusicBrainz, just in case any of the individual track artists do differ
as you say.

I guess I could only add this in if one of them does differ, but it'd be a
bit of a hack.

Anyone else got any comments?
