Since you've verified creating folders from the server's console also doesn't
work, it won't be the console version. It was just a thought.

I don't mean to be offensive, but just to double-check... once someone
mentioned they couldn't move packages to subfolders because the option wasn't
there, and it turned out they weren't right-clicking on the correct place in
the console.

So, before you call Microsoft, on the root of the collections branch,
right-click, and look at each option carefully. I don't have a console in
front of me, but I want to say it's right-click New--> folder.
