I'm having a go at fixing this just and and a question has just occurred to me: how useful is this feature? Is there really a use case for people not wanting to display all the tracks on their hard drive within Rhythmbox while keeping the files intact? It wouldn't seem to me that such a feature would be widely used.

The average user would want all their music contained within their music library, in much the same way they would want all their CDs on the same shelf (or set of shelves). Having it all in the one place just makes it easier to manage and the 'Remove from library' features just seems rather niche.

Is it really necessary to keep a little used feature that doesn't even work properly?
