There are two possible collisions: 1) misc.collection and any other package you've installed 2) packages within one misc.collection. Neither is detected cause the additional packages to be installed are considered lasts by env builder. nixpkgs contains top level attr buildEnv which could be used instead. This would fix 1) and 2). However in the case having different ghc's you should eventually create one collection (based on buildEnv) for each version. Then nix-env -iA should report collisions and let you choose (untested).
