You are correct.
*NO* dissector for a protocol over which Ethernet can be encapsulated should
call the "eth" dissector, with the possible exception of protocols for remote
packet capture. Perhaps that dissector should be renamed "eth_maybefcs" to
clarify that it's not "the" Ethernet dissector.
I'd be inclined to split this into two bugs:
1) a libwiretap bug for the file-reading modules that aren't setting the
pseudo-header;
2) a libwireshark bug for the dissectors calling the "eth" dissector - and
for renaming the "eth" dissector to "eth_maybefcs".
