These messages are warnings related to the Diameter dissector.
For more info about Diameter protocol see http://www.diameter.org
I think that there is some packets sent to or from TCP port 1812 that are not really Diameter messages.
If you are not interested in dissecting Diameter protocol you could change the port numbers to 0 in Edit/Preferences.../Protocols/Diameter
