Unfortunately that tagging breaks the Library structure. Compilation albums in general are messy since there is no standard tag indicating that a track is part of a compilation.
The Lib hierarchy is created by scanning the MPD database and then building an array that contains the structured data. This array is then sent to the client and loaded into the Browser for presentation via the Library list and albums panels.

I see. It would make sense to me to consider a collection of tracks an album if the Album name and Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist is not populated) are the same. Having Genre at the the top of the tree would make sense when filtering by genre, but not necessary in the Album view.
