First off, thanks for the appreciation, and for the detailed feedback. I'll cover most of the details below (please don't get too disappointed though!
)

No, because it wouldn't be possible to know which collection new books should go into.

The current view
is hierarchical. If you were thinking about something like a "tree mode", then no. A tree mode doesn't make sense at all with the current user interface. Think about it.

No. It would ruin the "up/down" buttons understandability. Plus, there is no need for more buttons (but there would be the space for one, or even two, more)

No. But that's just because I'm lazy, because it would require two buttons instead of one (for upper/lower pane), and because the whole idea of the program isn't to move massive amounts of items around (and clicking 5 items instead of one is still acceptable).

No. No way. This is a collections manager, not a content manager. I don't need posts like "Help! I accidentally clicked on the wrong button, now you help me to recover the book that I paid for" here.

See above. A tree structure makes no sense, so this doesn't either.

Please don't get carried away. The thing you're requesting would touch many, many more aspects than just collections. You're requesting a new framework here. So: no.

And finally: yes
Thanks for the bug report, this should be fixed with the current version.
