Which sympy version are you using? I just tried a recent git version
(49bf47d24e3bcbe3e7d16e6bf08216ab1976f410) and I can't reproduce the
behavior
you described:

In [1]: var("x y a b")
Out[1]: (x, y, a, b)

In [2]: f = a*x**2*y**2 + b*x*y**2

In [3]: f
Out[3]:
   2  2        2
a⋅x ⋅y  + b⋅x⋅y

In [4]: f.coeff(x, 2)
Out[4]:
   2
a⋅y

In [5]: f.coeff(x, 2).coeff(y, 2)
Out[5]: a

In [6]: f.coeff(x, 2).coeff(y, 0)
Out[6]: 0
