Regarding the "Battles" album MPD reports the tags below. Note that there is no OriginalArtist tag and the Artist and Performer tags are same which is not right.

Code:
pi@rp2:~ $ telnet localhost 6600
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.22.0
lsinfo "USB/VFAT128/Test_mixed/Battles - B EP (2004, EP) [FLAC]/01 Battles - SZ2.flac"

OK

Thanks for looking Tim,

I was going from what was being shown in Easytag but yes after also looking in mp3tag and a couple of players turns out it is actually the performer flac tag not the original artist tag (turns out this is an ID3 only tag so couldn't have been a flac tag anyway) must be an Easytag display quirk.

Still, whether it's a performer tag or other tag its presence shouldn't break the displayed artist or album artist. Every player under the sun including mpd assumes the artist tag as the album artist unless there's also an album artist tag which takes precedence, this behaviour is now broken in v7 web UI.
The code is picking up multiple tags instead of just artist which for example creates an artist name of "ZZ Top, ZZ top" instead of "ZZ Top". This then breaks the logic that evaluates whether album artist should be Unknown AlbumArtist.
