ShareAlike affects derivatives. A collection/anthology is not a derivative
but a collection. What seems to be the shaky claim is that
Alice posts chapter 1 of her book CC BY-NC-ND for comment period.
Bob incorporates chapter 1 into his anthology and

"gets the credit for moving the original into full publication first"

If Bob gets credit and not Alice, something is seriously awry with the
way attribution works. Worst case, Alice AND Bob would get credit
for first publication.

And if Alice was really only looking to get reviewer feedback
in a comment period, then she should keep the work "all rights
reserved" and get her reviewers to all agree to hold her work
confidential.

I just finished giving feedback on a book about to go to print.
And that's how they did it.
