According to my research on the etheral-website,
802.1s-Protocl support should be included ever since
September 29, 2002 when Ethereal 0.9.7 had been
released.
However, I am currently capturing 802.1s-Packets with
Etheral 0.10.0 and the decoding says 'malformed
packet: STP'.
There were some bugs in the handling of MST messages in 0.10.0 and older versions; fixes have been checked in and will be in the next release. 


Also the supported protocols list does not show MSTP nor 802.1s...
The only protocols that show up there are protocols that have their own dissectors. The MSTP stuff is handled by the STP dissector - there's no separate dissector for it - so it doesn't show up as a separate protocol. (That list is generated automatically.)
