NEW: Improved audio analysis and volume leveling (R128)
mojave:
Since both songs have the same album tag there won't be an adjustment since "intentional volume differences between tracks on the same album are preserved." It doesn't matter that both songs are from different labels.
Regarding Peak Level Normalize - it adds back in the lost volume due to volume leveling. It rarely increases it even further. For example, if an album is played that has -4.5 dB in the Volume Level (R128) tag, the volume will be reduced by 4.5 dB when just that album is added to the playlist and Volume Leveling is on. If you also turn on Peak Level Normalize, then 4.5 dB will be added back in for a net change of 0 dB. Since the album is the only one in the playlist, its volume obviously does not need to be reduced for Volume Leveling. Basically Adaptive Volume (Peak Level Normalize) intelligently looks at the items in the playlist and uses the least amount of volume reduction necessary to still achieve Volume Leveling.

This.
Many of us have different versions of the same album (Dark Side of the Moon, I think I have like 12 versions) and volume leveling doesn't consider [fields] other than album, artist.
@Faster: As a test, just name one of the albums "Folk Singer (CD)" and test again.
PS. Try and find the the MFSL UDCD-593 version ;).

Thanks guys for pointing out that the two files were on the same album. That had flown right over my head, and I'm sure that's the explanation.
If they're different albums, I'd recommend giving them different names. We might also be able to leverage the album analyzer which considers file path, but this opens up a new set of problems with users that don't reliably use album folders.
mojave:
I use the Publisher tag to differentiate albums, but I don't know if that would be standard with other users.
I really can't imagine that anyone listens to the same song from different versions of the same album in one playlist. ? I think this was just for testing.

Hopefully this will help:

The peak level normalize mode of Adaptive Volume does no dynamic range compression. For audio, it's mostly adding back the volume you'd lose from Volume Leveling.
The other two modes of Adaptive Volume do dynamic range compression, but the user interface and link above try to explain why you might want that in some cases.
