Yeah, it's a bit strange that artists are only track artists on compilations, 
and not if they are guest artists on an album with an album artist.

Incidentally, I tag this sort of album as a compilation appearing automatically 
as albumartist=Various Artists, but also add a custom "ORIGARTIST" tag 
(requires CustomScan plugin to read the tag).  I've made a couple of custom 
browse menus that show only cover artists, or artists that have covered other 
music.

You could try setting compilation=0 (I think this has the benefit of making 
track artists but not becoming a compilation album).

Custom Browse would give you the power to configure browse menus exactly as you 
want them though.
