That, IMO, is a bug.  I think those artists should be suppressed
whether or not the album is a compilation.  I think the problem is more
historical than anything else - at one time any album that had more than
one artist was considered a compilation no matter what.  It was never
foreseen that you could have non-compilations by using explicit
COMPILATION tags or ALBUMARTIST.

The example I always use is the Sinatra album called 'Duets', where
Sinatra records each track with a different artist.  This is obviously
a non-compilation.  It's a Sinatra album and you want it grouped with
Sinatra, so the ALBUMARTIST is Sinatra.  Currently for SqueezeCenter
you must mark it explicitly with COMPILATION=0.  Unfortunately, as you
point out, all those guest artists will be listed in the artist list.

This is a bug that I really wish would get fixed.  I think it would
simplify a lot of things greatly.
