This is actually by design.  The lhs part of the collection tree is
always composed of `real' children, and the rhs part of the `virtual'
children, regardless of virtuality of the parent collection.  This is so
that you can have a setup where a virtual collection will have both real
and virtual children, if need be.

Here is one (someone artificial) use case.  Say you are in the
collection `University Books' that looks like this:

   Narrow by:                 Focus on:

   [ ] Books                  Dept A books, Dept B books
   [ ] Proceedings

After clicking on Dept A books, you can have:

   Narrow by:                 Focus on:

   [ ] Dept A manuscripts     IT books, Physics books
   [ ] Dept A textbooks
   [ ] Dept A ebooks 

In this case, Dept A ebooks is a regular child, and IT books is a
virtual child, of the virtual Dept A books collection.

Does this describe what you had in mind, or were you thinking of another
setup?
