This is a documented limitation.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html
---
Attribute collection-type, whatever its value, is ignored inside the reltable element.

We do not plan to remove this limitation.

Please specify this:

<reltable>
    <relrow>
        <relcell>
           <topicref href="topics/a.dita" type="concept"/>
        </relcell>
        <relcell>
           <topicref href="topics/b.dita" type="concept"/>
        </relcell>
        <relcell>
           <topicref href="topics/c.dita" type="concept"/>
        </relcell>
    </relrow>
</reltable>

In our opinion, the above specification is closer the concept of reltables, i.e. ``more intuitive'', than what you did.

I am trying to create a relationship between a group of concepts using
the following relationship table:

|<reltable>
     <relrow>
         <relcell>
             <topicgroup  collection-type="family">
                 <topicref  href="topics/a.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/b.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/c.dita"  type="concept"/>
             </topicgroup>
         </relcell>
     </relrow>
</reltable>|


This, however, does not do anything at all. The expected output is:


  A ...


    Related Concepts

    * B
    * C

The following technique works as expected, but this doesn't seem like
the correct solution:

|<reltable>
     <relrow>
         <relcell>
             <topicgroup  collection-type="family">
                 <topicref  href="topics/a.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/b.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/c.dita"  type="concept"/>
             </topicgroup>
         </relcell>
         <relcell>
             <topicgroup  collection-type="family">
                 <topicref  href="topics/a.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/b.dita"  type="concept"/>
                 <topicref  href="topics/c.dita"  type="concept"/>
             </topicgroup>
         </relcell>
     </relrow>
</reltable>|


Having read many DITA resources on this topic it seems that I am doing
this the correct way. For example see,
http://dita.xml.org/improving-relationships-relationship-tables.

Am I doing this wrong or is this a bug?
