I just tested this two different ways and it worked fine for me:
1) I used Import->Local File, selected a couple files, entered "test" as the collection name, hit the accept button so it was entered on the dialog, then tapped OK. My songs were created and both were assigned to the new "test" collection.
2) I used Import->Local File, selected a couple more files, and added them to the existing "test" collection to verify it also works with an existing one. After tapping OK, the new songs were added to the existing "test" collection
So if it's not working for you, I'm going to need additional details as to what actions you were taking, where you were importing files from, the file types, etc. Also make sure you tap the "X" at the right side of the filters bar to ensure you aren't filtering out the new songs you are creating due to previous filter selections.
I can't say I agree that "companies ALWAYS make things worse when they update", but it's always possible for new bugs to come up when fixing issues or adjusting behavior to meet the requests of users. It's incredibly difficult to create bullet-proof software - any time code is changed, there is the possibility of breaking something that was working before. No way around that, and being the only developer and tester, I'm rarely going to catch every bug that may be introduced.
