Tracks with missing album tag unreachable from artist's discography view

I have a lot of singles in my collection which lack an "album" tag, however they do have artist tags. Despite this, Lollypop clumps all of these tracks with missing album data into one massive, 600+ track album titled "unknown", and none of the songs are reachable via the artist's list.
The following image shows that artist data is correctly extracted for the track "Minty" by Volant; this track is listed under the "unknown" album.
The following image shows that this track isn't reachable by clicking on "Volant" in the sidebar (which is not the behavior I expect).
If I change the album artist field (previously nonexistent) to match the artist field, the track will now show up under the artist, with album "Unknown" (shown below).
I think the above should be the default result, even without Album Artist data but only Artist data. It appears to me that there was at one point a patch to address this: d0828f10 but it appears to have been removed at some point.
For reference, here's the original metadata associated with the track:
