One other thing to remember, the issue might also be arising from a solo artists tag somewhere, eg: do you have any John Lennon albums or anything? There might be offending Album Artist tags in those albums as well.
I learned the hard way when I first started my Music library in XBMC, I was running into the exact same issues you are. I then loaded my complete 18000+ songs into Mp3Tag (yes it can handle that many at once, just takes a while to read the tags) and selected every song and wiped out all data for the "Album Artist", "Disc Number", and "Comments" fields. Seemed to squash quite a few problems, the rest I nailed by fixing the individual albums.
