The function prefs_register_bool_preference() is a wrapper fo
register_preference(). The second parameter is the name which is checked in
wireshark/epan/prefs.c . The following comment is before the check code:

        /*
         * Make sure that only lower-case ASCII letters, numbers,
         * underscores, and dots appear in the preference name.
         *
         * Crash if there is, as that's an error in the code;
         * you can make the title and description nice strings
         * with capitalization, white space, punctuation, etc.,
         * but the name can be used on the command line,
         * and shouldn't require quoting, shifting, etc.
         */

This means that the "showHex" name cannot be the name paramter. Changing it to
"show_hex" should be fine.

There is also a missing ';' at the end of a line in the example. See the
attached patch.
