Accidentally I found a question about MLDv2 decoding by ethereal on
this mailing-list archive.

Since I had provided a patch to decode MLDv2 report, I just notify
the availability to this list.
You can take it from;
<http://www-sop.inria.fr/planete/Hitoshi.Asaeda/ethereal/ethereal-0.9.11_mldv2.patch.gz>
(Yes, it's a patch for 0.9.11 but I guess it also can be applied to
0.9.15.)

This patch only decodes Report message, it doesn't decode Query
message. If someone wishes to see MLDv2 Query message, I'd support
it later.

And the reason why I don't want to import it to the release version
*now* is "MLDv2 Report type number" and an address of "all
MLDv2-capable routers" have not been assigned by IANA yet.
After these numbers are assigned, I could inform my patch to an
ethereal committer.

This patch supports my MLDv2 host-side implementation (incl. current
KAME stack). So if you are using NetBSD-current with MLDv2 kernel
patch or recent KAME implementations, just you need to apply this
patch and recompile ethereal.

Hope this helps.
