[PD] [coll] bug

[Matt Barber]

It's not quite like [delay] in that the delay time for this is
unpredictable. It's not just that it affects depth-first processing, but
that if you patch it wrong you may get bugs you can't always replicate;
that's not the case with [delay], whose behavior is predictable in
principle.
