Looking at Soft Machine, I see that "Volumes One and Two" and "Fourth / Fifth" are in the "albums" section of release groups, both being combined re-releases of two albums each.  They strike me as "Compilations".  Shall I change them?

They're not really compilations in the MBz sense. To quote the wiki[1]:
"The MusicBrainz project does not generally consider the following to be  
compilations:
...
* a release containing two albums and/or EPs."

I'd tag them as later release of x and y and leave it at that.
