You havn't seen it all. I've seen machines report collisions on 100/fdx interfaces, especially when the far end has mis-negotiated (or is incorrectly hardcoded) duplex but the collision reports are still on the fdx end. I don't care if you believe me or not, and this is no longer applicable to -mobile, but I and a few other long term professional sysadmins I just asked have all seen this.
