I don't have the Sonic 3-in-1 pack, but I do have the Genesis 6-pak, which has Sonic 1 in it, and yeah, that doesn't give you access to Sonic 1 & Knuckles (Blue Spheres), much like how the Sonic pack you talk about doesn't work with S&K as Sonics 1 or 2. I actually saw a boxed copy of that Sonic 3-pack in a used game store today, though, and right there on the back of the box (cardboard box, so '94 or on release), it says in small text at the bottom of the back 'this will not work with Sonic & Knuckles lock-on', or something like that. So people were warned.
From what I've heard, S&K looks at the beginning of the code on the cart locked on to determine what it does, or something like that, so those collections wouldn't start the same way as Sonics 1 or 2 -- they boot to a menu first. I presume that this is the issue.
