Comment # 3 on bug 8349 from 
The important question is: how was this file generated?  What steps were taken?

The fix does not prevent unused names from being in the capture file, it only
causes Wireshark's name resolution database to be flushed when a file is
closed.  So, for example, you could generate a PCAPNG file with an NRB that
contains host names not in the file by:

1) Getting some traffic (capturing or opening an existing file).
2) Resolving the network names.
3) Filtering out some traffic--in particular the traffic that has the network
names resolved.
4) Doing an File->Export Specified Packets with the Displayed box selected.
