I finally found the problem, if the metadata  ALBUM ARTIST
fields, the mpd cache creates two ALBUMARTIST fields and somehow
emms-cache-set-from-mpd-all gets confused and doesn't put any artist
field...

Here is an example of some metadata, along with the corresponding
tag_cache and emms cache entries.

from metaflac:

ALBUM ARTIST=PJ Harvey
ALBUMARTIST=PJ Harvey
ALBUMARTIST_CREDIT=PJ Harvey
