That's one of the reasons that for years I've been saying that the
scanner should always assign a role of album artist for every album,
whether it comes from an explicit ALBUMARTIST tag or just from the
ARTIST tags. It would greatly simplify a number of queries.

So would I. Again, with the recent onebrowser work, this should be
fairly trivial, since little, if any, special handling needs to be done
for the different interfaces now.
