Additional browse modes: filter not working?

Hey.

Short version:
When I create an artists menu using Additional Browse Modes it will show me false positives on the second level down (albums for artists). How do I get rid of them?

Check it out:

Take a library with 3 music files by 2 artists:

artist A -> regular album A -> song1 (rated 4 stars)
artist A -> compilation album B -> song2 (unrated)
artist B -> compilation album B -> song3 (rated 5 stars)

1. Create a library view using Advanced search for all tracks rated > 2 (stars). Save as "Rated". Contents = song1 & song3.
2. Create an artists menu using Additional Browse Modes for this library view.
3. In this new artist menu click on artist A.

What you should get for artist A:
artist A -> regular album A -> song1

But what you actually get is:
artist A -> regular album A -> song1
artist A -> compilation album B -> song2

The compilation album with the unrated song2 shouldn't be there, no? (because it's unrated and not featured in the library view)

- I can play around with the compilation settings, artists list or contributor filter in settings -> my music all I want I never get the desired result.
- Tracks of compilation album B are tagged album artist = Various Artists and compilation flag = 1. However, LMS assign contributor role "Artist" to all tracks on the compilation and not TRACKARTIST. If that matters.

How do I fix this? Is this a limitation of additional browse modes? Or is there a workaround of some sort?

I'd really like get rid of these empty false positives so I can offer such menus in my plugin.

Thank you for your help.

P.S. LMS latest v7.9
