There seems to be several problems involved here.

1.
There is a bug in the Years menu in Custom Browse. Same bug also exists
in the Years menu in standard slimserver. The bug makes all "No Album"
albums appear below "Unknown" years. This feels incorrect to me if I
actually have set the YEAR tag on these tracks but just haven't set the
ALBUM tag. The decades menu should handle this correct already today and
shows these albums under correct decade in a"No Album" entry.

2.
The "Look for new and changed music" option doesn't work the same way
as the "Clear library and rescan everything" in regards to tracks with
no album. 

- I removed the ALBUM tag on an existing track and performed rescan
with "Look for new and changed music". The result is that it doesn't
connect the album to "No Album" it just removes the album text. The
even worse thing is that this will result that the album information is
cleared also on all other tracks on that album, these tracks actually
still have an ALBUM tag and wasn't part of the rescan since they were
not changed.

- If I perform rescan with "Clear library and rescan everything" it
behaves differently. Becase then it will correctly connect the track to
the "No Album" entry.

I think your problems might be solved if you just perform a full
rescan. I also think you probably might have albums without any text if
you browse your music in the standard slimserver Album menu, because
thats what I get if I don't perform a full rescan after I have removed
ALBUM tags.

The Songs entries in the Custom Browse menu is the same entries as the
blank entries you probably have in the standard browse menu.

I haven't checked if there are bug reports on the above problems yet.
