Strange behaviour searching with ['songs', ] via jsonrpc

I notice that if I search my library using *['songs', 0, 500, 'search:'
+ -what-, 'tags:Aal'] * where -what -is a single word like Chicane, the
search results only match in the *title *tag. So songs such as 'She's
Got a Way (Chicane Mix)' will match because the artist Chicane is
mentioned in the title tag.

However, if -what - consists of more than one word (e.g. Bob Seger,
Armin van Buuren, Everything but the Girl) then the search matches in
the *artist* tag also and I can successfully use it to peruse all tracks
by that artist. 
I know I can use artist_id with the API but the problem is that
collaborations result in extra artist_ids for an artist in combination
with somebody else. The artist_id for the bare artist will miss those
tracks.

The Full Text Search plugin is enabled. This behavious eems to be
version independent because I also had this back on 7.9.2 but FWIW I'm
on the latest debian nightly.

Is this a bug or am I somehow misusing the *songs* query?
