Good question.

I just looked through an old bug report of mine:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5108

According to comment 1, that's exactly what happens when using a
separator instead of multiple ARTIST fields. Bizarre. Also you can force
the artist roles to be simple 'artist' rather than 'track artist' by
adding a COMPILATION=0 field to these tracks. Try it. You could then
keep the ALBUMARTIST field.

Just more idiosyncrasies caused by LMS' hacked together compilation
logic and the way that much of it spilled over to affect the handling of
non-compilations. It would be infinitely simpler (and more powerful) if
there were two artist browse methods - by Album Artist and by Artist,
where the latter would simply include every artist in the library. So
you'd have the ability to either browse every artist, or browse the
uncluttered artist list, without the need for switching an option and
with a lot more predictability.
