  Methinks it's a selection order thing. Try deliberately selecting edges in the same order for each of the corners of your plane.

  Unfortunately selection order doesn't change anything (at least for me). The result is always the same.

  Yeah I just tried it myself. Not entirely sure why it's doing that, but an easy fix is to just exclude the diagonal edges from the operation.

  Here's the workaround:
  
  
  Selecting only the side edges and the not the middle one will give you the result you want.
  
  The collapse is kind of crappy for getting rid of multiple edges/faces at once and leaving even topology. If you're try to collapse something down evenly might be easier to use merge to center or just start with a square and mesh>smooth it into more round geo.
