What you are trying to accomplish is essentially a structured database query without the presence of a database. There's no semantic model supporting the various metadata types and their contents are not structured in any meaningful way. Heck, the major metadata schemes (ID3v2, Vorbis comments, APEv2, iTunes, etc) don't even agree on what to name the tag types let alone on what their contents should be.
It would be a miracle if the metadata contained in my music collection exactly matched yours.
And then to top it off, all the goodness of the various schemes is filtered through MPD's plugins into its single list of "tags".
I think allowing the user to choose either Artist or AlbumArtist is as good as this feature is going to get.
