No, it highlights errors in tags. It's not creating problems, it's making them
visible.

Really? That's not what I recall when it was discussed before the change was
made.
Andy commented in several bugs and recent forum posts that it was intention (I
think). Here's one comment from a bug report:
Andy Grundman 2010-08-28 04:56:14 PDT
I recall we decided somewhere that we should always treat artists with
different names, even differing only in accents, etc, as different
artists.
Mostly so you can easily detect problems with your tags, and maybe they
are in
fact different artists in some cases.

I couldn't have said it better! We should never have tried to match
misspelled
names, as we'll never be able to do it correctly. Let's stop here
before it
gets even worse.
The checkin comment for the diacritics fix was:
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #31901 to the slim repo by agrundman ==
== http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=31901 ==
Fixed bug 10324, don't merge artists or genres unless they have the exact same
name
Seems an intentional change to me...
