Compendium showing up incorrectly?

Added the two bundles of 5e to my account (Monster Bundle and DM's bundle) I am using a non-official sheet so I use the dropdown menu to add them to my game, have the share option set to no. Hit save. I log in, I can see the compendium tab. One player who I asked to log in to check some macro/API changes can also see and search the compendium, which I do not want. Bug or expected behavior?

Expected behavior. Compendium sharing is all or nothing. You can turn it off completely, but then they will not have access to spells, equipment and the data for creating and leveling characters with charactermancer. They cannot see the contents of any module or adventure you buy, however. This is to be expected. There are exhaustive sources of this information that can be searched anywhere, not just on Roll20, and of course, anyone can purchase a physical book. The best you can do is ask players to restrain themselves if you think it important. Now it sounds like in your case, you have specifically turned compendium sharing off. This should turn off the Compendium tab within that game, but again, anyone can use the website based compendium.

If I remove the compendium from the game and reload, then no one, including me, sees it. I do have a 2nd game set up as a specific compendium, was hoping to avoid having to transmog everything, now that I've sorted macros/API commands to convert on the fly from 5e to 2e. It's the monsters for the most part that I'd prefer they not see.

That is odd. I've never run a game like that. When they click the Compendium tab, do they see the purchased material, or just the SRD? If you need to do any quick testing, you can create and invite a  Dummy Account .

Have one, saw the issue, so figured it was a cache issue so cleared everything, still persisted, that's when I asked my brother who is scripting with me, and it still persisted. EDIT, just the SRD, but I'm surprised that monsters are part of that is all.
