As pippin explained, iPeng just use what the server feeds the
Controller so in my experience it is more likely to be an issue with the
server feed than with iPeng. I think there are a lot of issues in the
server with genre browsing in the web UI (and on the SB3) and on the
Controller and iPeng which are not sorted out (try searching the
Bugzilla and you will find some bug reports from me and Jim Zolx and
others). I think it has to do with the fact that there can be different
genres for the songs on an album, which is attributed to an albumartist
for the entire album. It is not obvious what should be the desired
behaviour depending on the options set.

If you have investigated the current behaviour, you might want to start
a separate thread and state your results in detail (for the benefit of
the developers and the developers) and state which behaviour you would
like to see. I am sure someone will jump in and argue for an opposite
position...

Regarding your reported issue: Have you tried the plugin CustomBrowse?
I seem to remember that CustomBrowse, which is supported on iPeng, in
its standard browse by genre menu showed only albumartists when browsing
by genre. And you can modify (in an interface which is admittedly not
very user friendly) which contributor roles (albumartist, track artist,
band, composer, etc.) to include when browsing by genre.
