The code that's doing the filtering is the WinPcap NPF driver running in kernel
mode, so the only way the Wireshark version would directly affect this would be
if it were handing a bad filter string to pcap_compile() or mangling the
resulting filter before handing it to pcap_setfilter().

1.6.0rc1 and 1.7.0 are probably installing the same version of WinPcap, so it's
probably not an indirect consequence of different versions of Wireshark
installing different versions of WinPcap.

This might be a consequence of the recent dumpcap etc. changes in the trunk. 
If so, I wouldn't expect it to just break MAC address filters, I'd expect it to
break all filters; do any other capture filters work with that 1.7.0 build?
