I have this exact same issue, and also came here hoping for a solution to this problem. Using "Various Artists" on Album Artist with the individual band names loaded under the "Artist" tag should be the correct way to tag compilations (iTunes handles this just fine). However when streaming from Subsonic, not only does this not show the correct artist name, it also prevents the song from being scrobbled to last.fm if you are using that service.
If anyone knows of a solution to this problem, I would love to hear it! Or, as the OP originally requested, it would be nice if there were a way to have it simply read the "Artist" tag instead of "Album Artist."
