I might be missing something here, but in order to support
oldSize/newSize in the event object in this design, I think I'd have to
pass some state from the pre to the post method, e.g.

class AbstractXxxCollection
   extends AbstractCollectionDecorator
{
  public boolean add(Object o)
  {
    boolean result = false;
    if (preAdd(o))
    {
      result = super.add(o);
      postAdd(o);
    }
    return result;
  }
  protected boolean preAdd(Object o) { return true; }
  protected void postAdd(Object o) {}
}

class ObservableCollection
   extends AbstractXxxCollection
{
  protected boolean preAdd(Object o)
  {
    int oldSize = size();
    return true;
  }
  protected void postAdd(Object o)
  {
    fireElementAdded(oldSize, size(), o);
  }
}

something like,

  protected boolean preAdd(Object o, Map ctx)
  {
    ctx.put("oldSize", new Integer(size()));
    return true;
  }
  protected void postAdd(Object o, Map ctx)
  {
    int oldSize = ((Integer) ctx.get("oldSize")).intValue();
    fireElementAdded(oldSize, size(), o);
  }
