It works ok for me. It seems, you have assigned incorrect MusicBrainz artist. Select 3dot menu - wrong artist and choose the correct one, it should be ok then.

This was probably triggered by use of 'Another artist' function. The problem is that 'Another artist' appears to the user that it will give them choices of other artists--but it doesn't--it just breaks the existing lookup. To fix this:
- change 'Another artist' --> 'Don't look up'

Fixed in 2170. The same wording used also for albums and releases.

Per IM discussion, adjusted wording of Wrong artist/Album/Release to "Lookup Alternates" and "Enter name" renamed to "Rename" and moved to higher menu level.

EDIT by Rusty: This change was made because:
'wrong x ?': doesn't make it clear that this is about looking up the artist/album & metadata
'another artist/album': implies that MM is going to initiate additional lookups when in fact it just decouples wikipedia lookups from the view
'Enter artist' in the Wrong artist section: makes the user think that this will somehow also trigger a lookup for wikipedia data, and in fact, it doesn't.

The suggested UI was:
Lookup alternate

Tested 2170, and I'd suggest a couple of tweaks:
Lookup Alternates --> Lookup alternate (Artist)
Album (Lookup Alternates) --> Lookup alternate (Album)
Release (Lookup Alternates) --> Lookup alternate (Release)
Don't look up --> Don't display info

Lastly: Does it make sense to offer 'Don't display info' for 'Release'? Since as far as I can tell, choosing a release doesn't affect the wikipedia info that's displayed--it's only used for choosing what album tracks to display in online mode, and I can't think of a reason why we'd want no tracks to display.

Fixed in build 2171. 'Don't display info' for 'Release' not used, it is really probably not needed.
