The only thing I can think of is the timing. The collections are built when you send the books. The series info is added the next time the device is connected. That means if you add new books to the device, the collections based on series will have the new books. But, the series in the Series tab will not. When you connect the device again, this will be fixed (assuming you haven't turned off the options to do this).
I suppose there could be a difference if you have a metadata plugboard that fiddles with the series name. That will be used when populating the series info for the series tab, but not for the collections made from the series column.
Do you have examples that are different? If it isn't one of the above cases, then I'd need to see it to see what the problem is.

I don't know why it happens. I do have 2 kobo plugins (utilities and touch) but I don't use them, keep them installed and updated just in case.
I can provide couple of examples, but I noticed that some books that are in collections are not added to series tab at all. If I have to guess, its older books I exported from Calibre a long long time back (3-4 years ago) and since I messed around with them using older versions of both Calibre and Kobo, they didn't get updated and sorted to Series Tabs automatically when Kobo added Series feature.
