query %album artist% PRESENT not working

Hey all.  I am trying to use the following filter query in order to make sure my collection meets this standard.

%ALBUM ARTIST% PRESENT

But the results incorrectly include songs without the %ALBUM ARTIST% field.  Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks!!

%album artist%

Name of the artist of the album specified track belongs to. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "album artist", "artist", "composer", "performer". The difference between this and %artist% is that %album artist% is intended for use where consistent value across entire album is needed even when per-track artists values vary.


to check only the "album artist" tag, you can use $meta(album artist) like this..

"$meta(album artist)" PRESENT
