I have been struggling with the same problems.  I ended up tagging just
album , artist, track and title of each of my compilations, and
blanking all other tags.  The behaviour for artist list is:

1) The album is listed in Various Artists
2) If you have albums by an artist on a compilation album, the album
and the tracks by that artist are listed under that artist.
3) If you have artists on a compilation album, but you do not have any
album by that artist, then the artist is not in the artist list.

This seesm to be a pretty good way of doing it. 

I have had some weirdness for some of my albums.  
a) Artist names in lower case
b) Artists on some Compilation albums listed in artist, but the album
not listed in various artists.
c) Albums split into two entries with some track on each.

In all cases I fixed the problem by deleting all the tags on the
offending album and re-tagging it.  I noticed if an album has APE tags,
MP3tag seems to update the ID3 tag but not the APE tags, and the Squeeze
center uses the APE tag.
