Yeap 2 things contribute:
a) in v17 type always getting overwritten with the scaped value even when it is empty
b) Most scraping not returning an album type anyway.
Not sure where we are with v17 releases, if there is going to be a 17.4 I will try and get a fix to that bug in place. It is a trivial thing, but irritating.

You do not have to disable "Fetch additional info on update", it is just what I would do. As a control freak I prefer to initiate scaping at my convenience. Also it is very likely that the scarper will hit 503 errors because of traffic at the Musicbrainz server, so you are going to have to do "query for all" later anyway to fill the gaps.
I'm looking at scraper improvements for v18, so becoming more aware of current weaknesses. "Fetch additional info on update" delays the population of the library as it scans and scrapes album at a time. I would rather get the library populated from tags as soon as possible, so I can browse, play etc. the new stuff, and then slowly scrape the pretty stuff to go with it. When people moan about scanning being slow it is usually because they are scraping at the same time. Yes they are background tasks so you can still play music, watch movies etc. but you can't see things in the library that aren't there yet.
IMO it also helps to see what library your tagging created before letting the scraper loose on it.
