That's a great example of our difference of opinion on the matter.  I
believe the boxed set you describe is ambiguously (but not incorrectly)
tagged (I have two or three albums in my collection with the exact same
scenario which needed to be explicitly tagged as non-compilations). 
Lacking any other information, the most logical guess any automated
system could make is that it's a compilation.  In most cases this would
be a correct guess, and in this case it's wrong.  All "guessing"
algorithms you could ever devise will be wrong some of the time,
because guessing is what you're is forced to do when you don't have
enough data to make a clear choice.  The ONLY way to get 100% accurate
results is to provide enough data to the interpreter.
