I'm also really surprised to hear this because after the whole 1984 thing Amazon made the promise to never remove a book from a Customer's Kindle without their permission as it also removes notes etc.
My Mom's Kindle is all Amazon drm'd files. I don't think she uses Collections because I don't think she'd know how. But she's certainly never said anything to me about her books disappearing when I move her Kindle to my account to give her a book.
If I get some time today I'll do a bit more testing with my old Kindle. I don't want to risk the K3 losing files, I've spent way too much time as it is making it look exactly how I want.

The books are still there, but the appearance of the collections in the menu seems to be tied into the account.
When you switch back to the account you made the collections in, all the titles reappear instantly without downloading.
So nothing is deleted in collections when switching accounts, you just can't see them when in a different account to the one they were made in.
Although I haven't done this for a few months so it is possible that Amazon might have fixed this but how many people would be informing them of this problem.
