I'm not entirely sure what exact problem you're having.

Artist Collage is working, when Artist has not Artwork associated and Artist Artwork lookup is disabled the Collage is created.

I have found another situation, where artwork was missing (e.g. tracks with Album Artist but without Artist or with different Artist), will be fixed in the next release.

(sorry for the slow response - I somehow wasn´t subscribed to the updates, I thought that happens automatically?)
I'm not entirely sure what exact problem you're having.
My problems are that i) I cannot have tag-based artwork for album artists, and ii) MMW5 is currently inconsistent with its use of the tag-based artworks and internet derived artworks. Here is a series of images describing these issues:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bUHK7U ... sp=sharing => there are some album artists picked by mmw5, from when I briefly had the "Background metadata lookup" box for Artist images checked (black boxes). Then there are some album artists for which the image from the tag is used (blue boxes), but for most I don't have anything.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fl45Vy ... sp=sharing => when I then click on an artist and look at the preview (black boxes), I don't see the album cover in the preview, but in the "selected" view in the bottom right (blue box)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LOXhyr ... sp=sharing => after all, ALL of the artists and albums have cover art embedded in the tag, as visible here in MMW4.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AvmxKZ ... sp=sharing => so I can only guess what you mean by Artists collage - something like here in WMP, where you have a "pile" of covers?

Hope that makes it more clear
