I'm not aware of any bugs for plants that can be brewed (bilberry: I generally don't collect things that can't be made into booze, so I don't know much about those). However, berries and fruit are ripe only at certain times of the year, and if they contain any part that can be picked outside of that time, those plants will be picked (like strawberries, where the plant itself will be picked regardless of whether there is any berries on it or not), which means they're removed from the map and thus can't be picked when the berries ought to be ripe.
As far as I know getplant does the same thing as your area designations for picking does, except that it doesn't include the unwanted kinds of plants. It's also the same as the one applied when you designate them individually.
I would expect harvesting zones to have dorfs pick plants as soon as there is something to pick (like the area designation), without regard for your possible wishes to actually target berries/fruit.
I use this script to collect plants with the primary purpose of getting seeds for farm plots. Note that the parameter section (in the beginning) defaults to collect one of everything (to allow for growing not only for booze, thread, and paper, but for preferred foods as well). I use the script a number of times over the year, in particular the summer, to get berries. Since the script checks your existing designations as well as your current stocks, it should designate less and less over time.
-- This script designates surface plants for collection, with the primary aim to get seeds for
-- farm production. Plants already designated are taken into account.
-- The script tries to select the plants closest to the center of the embark, but does not try
-- to replace ones already designated with closer ones.

local get_all = true -- If true, every shrub is collected and the flags below are ignored

local get_mill = true -- If true, include millable plants
local get_seedless = false-- Get plants that can't be grown as they produce no seeds. The vanilla
-- plants of this type are Valley Herb and Kobold Bulb. Note that get_all
-- does NOT override this setting.
local number_to_get = 1 -- Change this number if you want more of each. Note that the number of plants
-- actually collected is reduced by the number of seeds already at hand.

-- we already have sufficient seeds. If false, those messages are suppressed.
