Oh, I see.  Yes, that is exactly what has happened.  Thank you.

I do have albums whose names begin with accented letters -- África
Brasil, Ænima, etc -- so it is now obvious what the problem is:

There is a section of code which sorts the album titles and then scans
the sorted list to create the buckets.  This code is sensitive to the
accented characters, and it sorts accented A's after unaccented A's.  So
it creates, say, an "A" bucket with items 1 through 100 of the sorted
list, an "Á" bucket with item 101, and an "Æ" bucket with item 102.

But then there is another section of code which sorts the titles again
and uses the results of the earlier scan to display the contents of each
bucket, and this code does NOT sort accented vowels after non-accented
vowels.  Instead, it converts the accented characters to ASCII (or some
other character set without accents) before sorting.  So when it tries
to display the "A" bucket by showing items 1 through 100 of its sorted
list, África Brasil and Ænima are in that group.  And when it tries to
display items 101 and 102 for the "Á" and "Æ" buckets, it incorrectly
shows the second-to-last and last "A" items.

Sure enough, here in the "A" bucket are all four of my accented-A
albums, sorted insensitively to the accents (and to leading
punctuation):

31044

I'll open a bug report.
