Same result for me. Fails for both "contains" and "is".
That's kind of consistent with the bug in having multiple search clauses
on different fields looking for the same name. Item #34 here:

I'm starting to see why delaying WinFS integration in Longhorn is a good
thing since WMP library features represent similar features to what
would be found generically in the Windows file-system in the future.

The closest you might get it to do the query as
Music in my Library
Containing Artist1
+
Music in my Library
Containing Artist2
That gets you the union of the entries, not the desired intersection.
Intersecting filter cases don't appear to have been tested.
