There is "base" AVP:s specified by IETF in RFCs and regitered by IANA these
AVPs dont have the vendor bit set and no vendor ID.

Then there is the Vendor AVP:s any vendor can define AVP:s and use them either
in open specifications (3GPP) or proprietary of course the vendor can chose to 
publish the AVP:s or some one makes their intepretation known to wireshark
(Cisco.xml Ericsson.xml Vodafone.xml...)
So vureshark have tables for base AVPs and Vendor AVPs and makes the lookup
in the apropriate table.

You should register a bug report with the vendor if possible.
