For this reason, it would be important for me to have the ability to select a list of various works by a given composer without making any distinction between single and multitrack works. I guess this means I will have to implement my WorkOrTrackTitle proposal.

Another option is to make Group and Work independent tags, instead of aliasing Work to Group. I think this would be the best approach for what you want to do. With this approach, your multiple-track works would be tagged with both Group and Work, and your single-track works would be tagged with Work only.

Does MinimServer send the Group tag value to all control points as the "Album" value, or is this just done for BubbleDS/BubbleUPnP?

MinimServer does this for all control points.

I use BubbleDS and Kinsky myself. I have tried a number of others, which all have their good and bad points. My situation is a bit different from yours, as I need to use a control point that understands the Linn DS extensions to UPnP. Also, I don't have an iPad, so I'm unable to try any of the control points that are designed to take advantage of the iPad.
