Yes, "time_delta" is the time from the previously *displayed* frame.  From
packet-frame.c:

~~~
                { &hf_frame_time_delta,
                { "Time delta from previous packet",    "frame.time_delta",
FT_RELATIVE_TIME, BASE_NONE, NULL,
                        0x0,
                        "Time delta since previous displayed frame", HFILL }},
~~~

One thing to improve the situation would be to change the filter description
(or whatever the first string in the hf_ field above is called) to include this
information (e.g., make that string also "Time delta since previous displayed
frame").

Another might be to prohibit filtering on this field altogether since it's,
well, kinda illogical.
