It' not a but at all. SS doesn't use the ARTISTSORT field from the same
file.
Here is how it goes (again):
-SS scans your audio files
-SS encounters a track with ALBUMARTIST="first last"
-SS inserts a row for "first last" into the contributor table in the
database.
-SS scans some more files...
-SS encounters a track with ARTIST="first last" and ARTISTSORT="last,
first", looks up "first last" in the database and finds an entry in the
contributor table. The sort field in the "first last" entry ins't
populated so it adds "last, first" to the sort field of the "first
last" entry.
-SS finishes the scan
...
-You request the artist list from the player or web interface
-SS looks up all relevant entries in the contributor table 
-SS finds the entry "first last" and applies the sort order found in
the sort field.
-SS displays the list

Ok, this may not be technically correct, but you get the picture.

Btw, there is already an enhancement request to add support for
ALBUMARTISTSORT to SS:
