If they are truly separate (TCP) connections then either:

1) your filter isn't working quite the way you're expecting (and you are
displaying some packets from those connections)

2) (or) there's a bug in the code which is picking up dependencies between
connections

If you can provide a smaller capture which proves it's the latter then we could
fix it.

The intent of the feature is quite simple: without it when you open the newly
saved capture file you won't be able to actually see the (reassembled) PDUs
you're currently displaying.  You will, instead, see just the last
segment/frame of those PDUs (if you use Wireshark version 1.6.x this is what
will happen).
