I just ran a test with a small library of Mp3 albums.  It's exactly as
you say - albums with either TPE2 or TXX/ALBUMARTIST or both set to
'Various Artists' and without explicit COMPILATION tags aren't
displayed under Various Artists when browsing Artists.  And Various
Artists appears twice in the artists list.

Looking at the database, what's happening is that the albums aren't
being marked as compilations, undoubtedly because of the
BAND/ALBUMARTIST tags.  With explicit COMPILATION tags they're forced
to be seen as compilations.  Like Phil says, apparently there's some
logic to only display compilation albums under the 'Various Artists'
moniker.  That restriction probably isn't necessary, so this is sounds
like a bug.
