That's really bad. There should be a simple config file to adjust which tag is used for each view.
But, well, the tag "albumartistsort" for the album and "artistsort" for the single track artist exactly do what you and the librarian are worried about - listing "Mike Oldfield" as "Oldfield, Mike" and "The Beatles" as "Beatles, The" "The Drunken Sailors" as "Drunken Sailors, The"...
Which still doesn't solve the capital letter issue...
BTW: If you autotag with the Musicbrainz Database these aren't created automatically but edited by users. Check out the Musicbrainz Picard program - it's free and does all that (heavily customizable by settings and plugins)... yeah, you probably knew about it anyway, I get a bit offtopic here in an official bug report... (but who care's... it's not maintained anyway...)
