It uses the first value of the specified tag that it finds in the album's tracks (searched in tracknumber order). If a track file contains multiple values for the same tag name, the value that appears first in the file is used.

Thanks for this information! It may be worth adding this to the user guide.
I think that this is a very reasonable and straightforward approach. There may be more fancy algorithms (for example to use the tag value with the most instances for sorting or the arithmetic mean for numeric tag values), but, besides the performance problem, I think that it would be difficult to find something that is appropriate for all use cases.
