The music scope is only returning "song" results rather than "album" ones currently. It also limits itself to 20 results at a time until the next version is pushed out (see bug 1227088 for details).

Taking that into account:

1. have you verified that there is only a single copy of that song on the device?

2. Do you see any other results by expanding the category, or performing searches?

3. Does the problem go away if you rebuild the media scanner database? The following commands should do the trick?

    stop mediascanner
    mv ~/.cache/mediascanner mediascanner-old-index
    start mediascanner

The scope doesn't do much other than just passing the results through to the media scanner, so the problem is most likely on that side.

Closing this because, as best as I can tell from extensive testing, the music scope displays albums just fine. This was most likely caused by an earlier version of media scanner or the music scope.
