Unfortunately I think it's going to be pretty difficult to find an example of a Collada file with an embedded texture. Although Collada allows for this via the <data> element, nothing is specified about the format of this data, making any sort of interchange infeasible. I've never seen the <data> element used myself. To add salt to the wound the Collada DOM (which OSG uses for Collada parsing) doesn't support the <data> element. Tellingly, no one's ever complained about that.
For Google Earth they use a custom format (kmz) that's just a zip file containing Collada data and the associated textures. That might be something to look into.
