Please let me know what I am missing or if I am just plain nuts.

I copied the org-collector example into my scratchorg file. Before 
executing he first propview block, I killed the following entry

**** Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]
      :PROPERTIES:
      :amount: 56.77
      :spendtype: food
      :END:

I made sure that spendtype and amount in all other entries and in the 
propview blocks were upper cased.
I made sure that the first propview block had no results so it was just

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= SPENDTYPE "food")) 
:cols (ITEM AMOUNT)
#+END:

When executed (C-c C-c) the result still was

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)
| "ITEM"                           | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" |    56.77 | - how possible if there is no entry??????
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"    |    30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
|                                  |          |
#+END:

In the example is :id somehow "hardwired" into the expected results. 
Please note that I also entered, not copied,  the first propview block 
(without the results) character by character into the buffer, executed 
and the Grocery Store still showed up!

If I upper case ID, I get the expected results

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)
| "ITEM"                           | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"    |    30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
|                                  |          |
#+END:

Should all options be upper cased as well? Or what should I read as to 
:id properties?
