As I said in one of my edits, I seem to recall a style guideline 
(probably just a proposal) which suggested ArtistA - Track1 title / 
ArtistB - track2 title.  I can’t find that now and it would have been 
years ago, but stuck in my mind that way.  Or maybe it just stuck in my 
head in a fever-dream at some point.

For now I certainly think the split release title style is essentially 
useless for releases with only two tracks, and that listing just the 
titles is the better option.

That said, it would be nice if it could be just left blank, and have MB 
automatically handle the display of whatever’s necessary to distinguish 
it in album listings.
