Incomplete "Artists" list #1059

Bug report

When I click the "Music" tab in the lefthand side menu of the Kore app and select the "Artists" tab, I don't get a complete lists of artists.

No matter how many times I refresh, I get an incomplete Artist list in Kore -- list should be 638 long, they aren't all there. It feels like roughly a third (all except one "T" artist missing, but there are others).

Preliminary suspicions

Running the JSON-RPC commands manually makes it look like this is a server side issue, but I'm still fuzzy on the expected behavior. I ran the GetArtists commands manually and the missing artists don't show up.

The relevant lines from the kodi debug log:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"AudioLibrary.GetArtists","id":1787,"params":{"limits":{"start":0,"end":300},"albumartistsonly":true,"properties":["description","genre","fanart","thumbnail"]}}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"AudioLibrary.GetArtists","id":1788,"params":{"limits":{"start":300,"end":600},"albumartistsonly":true,"properties":["description","genre","fanart","thumbnail"]}}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"AudioLibrary.GetArtists","id":1789,"params":{"limits":{"start":600,"end":900},"albumartistsonly":true,"properties":["description","genre","fanart","thumbnail"]}}

Running them manually (curl --json "$line" http://server.local:8080/jsonrpc | json_pp | grep '"artist"') I get overlapping results with a total of 450 unique artists (out of 638). Each of the three queries comes back with 300 artists, which doesn't seem right. Is Kodi doing something wrong, or is Kore supposed to be requesting a sort order in its queries?

I can provide more details if requested.
