Yes, I guess it doesn't.  That might be something to add in a future
update to the GIOP dissector, using the TCP segment reassembly mechanism
that's now in Ethereal.

There are other dissectors that also don't do TCP segment reassembly; I
recently updated the LDAP dissector to do so, and plan to update the BGP
dissector to do so at some point, but there may well be others that
don't.  (That's what happens when you put packet-oriented protocols atop
a byte stream protocol like TCP....)
