There is also a third option: Dropping the pure donation:compensation key in
order to just use donation:compensation:something=yes/no. This would be
consistent without a need for semicolons, although I prefer the semicolon
values anyway because they come with shorter keys.

That has nothing to do with semicolons. It's a general problem with tag
combinations. Say, if you use pub=yes + hotel=yes, you still cannot specify
different opening hours. Same thing with amenity=pub + tourism=guest_house.
The only solution is to split the object (e.g. 2 separate nodes).
