I've fixed the errors on the log, but am no closer to getting my composers sorted. Just to try and be clear, I have tags:

Composer - Stephen Adams
ComposerSort - ADAMS STEPHEN

The list of composers (ie. the index value in your terminology) still includes Stephen Adams under composer starting with S, not under others beginning with A

So what have I done wrong, or have I completely misunderstood something?

I misunderstood your previous post. I thought you meant that the malformed sort values had been causing this problem with Stephen Adams.

Are you using the alphaGroup property to split the Composer index into alphabetical subfolders, or are you viewing all composers in a single list?

Which control point are you using? Some control points (e.g., Naim n-Stream) don't use the sort order that MinimServer sends, but impose their own sort order.

How could I have doubted minimserver?

I was viewing all Composers in one list, using foobar2000 as the control point. I have just tried my Marantz renderer directly, and sure enough Stephen Adams appears at the top of the list. I then tried BubbleUpnP on my android phone, and sure enough the sort order is correct.

So foobar2000 is the culprit.

Apologies for chewing up your time on this. I should have guessed!
