Yes, it's a bug.  Any time a field containing a 'contributor' (artist,
albumartist, composer, conductor, etc.) name is read it should never
override an explicitly set sort string for that name.  So using
ALBUMARTIST fields with the same info as the ARTIST (with ARTISTORT)
_should_ be safe.  Like I said above, this might be specific to
multitrack Flacs.
