Mp3 files?

You could be right.  There are reports of this being broken in several
ways in the bug database.

I have Flac albums where this scenario works out just fine and the
album gets sorted in with the ALBUMARTIST.

If this is indeed an Mp3 album, one thing you can do is skip the broken
BAND (id3v2 TPE2) tag and use a TXXX (user defined) frame with the name
ALBUMARTIST and the value set to your artist.  SqueezeCenter will see
it and treat it exactly as it does with Flac files.  If you use Mp3tag,
these TXXX frames are easy to create - any unmapped frame name (such as
ALBUMARTIST) will automatically be created as a TXXX.
