RE: COLLECT bug? (10637)
The function that you're trying to collect is not a polynomial, but a rational fraction (division of two polynomials). The help for the collect command states that the argument must be a polynomial or a list of polynomials.

Of course, collect(a*b+a*c,a) / collect(a*d+a*e+d*e,a) should work as expected.
