Essentially, that's "music inspired by the movie ...", right? Yours is one hell of an oblique headline. 
Typically, I try to avoid those like the plague.

Do concert arrangements count? It's not exactly non-score music, but it isn't music written specifically for the film but does sometimes reflect the tone/mood of the film on album. One prime example is the Elgar-like string fantasy on The Fury's main theme that ends John Williams' original album.
Otherwise, the only quasi examples I can think of were the Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops Sci-Fi theme albums on Telarc that had electronic interpolations between numbers evoking spaciness, whalesong, etc. Sounds like the kind of thing Subotnick was doing, though I'd always rather hear Subotnick do it.

I have 2 for ya, Onya.
1) The Night of the Iguana (1964) on MGM records. About half of this LP is music by Benjamin Frankel.
The other cues are selections of Latin pieces (of which I don't think any were actually used during the film itself) whose function is to reinforce to the listener that the setting is in Mexico.
2) Anne of the Thousand Days (1970) on Decca. Only one side of this LP is the music score by Georges Delerue. The other side is English Tudor music - selections which, again, I don't think actually appeared within the film - whose performers probably had a contract with Decca records.
There's also those albums which offer the impression of being a soundtrack from an individual film but whose contents are actually themes from 10 or more other titles. [MGM's Of Human Bondage is the one I am thinking of in this case - but this would fall under a different category]

Just remembered that Ava LP for David and Lisa, with the Mark Lawrence score on one side ... and jazz impressions on the other side by the Victor Feldman ensemble.

A few more came to my memory whilst perusing my LP collection (including some faves which I forgot to mention earlier in this thread).
1) the 1961 Columbia LP of The Young Savages - the entire first side of which is jazz compositions by David Amram that aren't heard during the film itself and are not part of Amram's film score proper.
2) the 1975 CBS/Sugar LP on Cagliostro features a suite of Manuel de Sica's music for this Italian flick on side 1, with side 2 being variations of themes done by a small ensemble.
(never having seen the picture, though, I can't verify if those thematic miniatures appear within the film or were created solely for album purposes).
3) the 1978 United Artists LP on The Thirty Nine Steps by Ed Welch. This UK-only soundtrack puts the score on side 2 whilst side 1 is a piano concerto/rhapsody based on his score which I suspect Welch created especially for the album.
