Umm. I have Artist:Album Artist purely to rename the container. Similarly I have All Artists:Artist to rename that one. I am pretty sure Minimserver "Artist" is the album artist:

Quote:The Artist index provides main artist information. It contains AlbumArtist tag values for albums that have this tag and Artist tag values otherwise. This index is included by default and can be excluded by removing Artist from indexTags.

It was a while ago now, but I think I did that purely for the reason the OP has highlighted, rather than use the AlbumArtist index (or it could be because that's excluded by default and I never got around to adding it!

I just checked anyway. For example, I have one track by A Flock Of Seagulls, from a Various Artists album (track artist tag is A Flock Of Seagulls, track album artist tag is Various Artists). A Flock of Seagulls only appears in my Artist container, not Album Artist one.

Could be I stumbled on a solution for the OP?
