Ah, thanks for the tip Imran. I see that this is covered in the 
reference at:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/collects.html?q=PLTCOLLECTS#(idx._(gentag._425._(lib._scribblings/reference/reference..scrbl))) 
<http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/collects.html?q=PLTCOLLECTS#%28idx._%28gentag._425._%28lib._scribblings/reference/reference..scrbl%29%29%29>

I had been using the guide and it doesn't appear to mention the ':' issue.
