Because degree()/coeff() (which are used by collect()) were only implemented
for functions, constants, symbols and indexed objects in this "treat the
entire expression as the object" mode. I've changed GiNaC in CVS now to make
this mode the default for all classes (except for add/mul/numeric) so your
examples will work.

Bye,
