Actually, the money pickup is currently not being registered if you step onto the wife's body immediately after killing her (like, with the crowbar). If you step on a second time, or kill her from afar and then walk up to her, you pick up the money.
When in doubt, you can mouse over her to see if she's still carrying money.
(The fact that I feel uncomfortable even discussing these aspects of my game is a good sign, I think.)
This is caused by mobiles being frozen now during tool use, so the wife's status doesn't update until the next step.
Will be fixed in v11.
