According to documentation "The field is populated if the protocol runing atop
of TCP uses tcp_dissect_pdus()", which is our case.

https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/README.dissector

function tcp_dissect_pdus() from epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c is called

            item=proto_tree_add_uint((proto_tree
*)p_get_proto_data(pinfo->pool, pinfo, proto_tcp, pinfo->curr_layer_num),
                                     hf_tcp_pdu_size,
                                     tvb, offset, plen, plen);

but p_get_proto_data returns nil, that is why this field is not populated.

This worked correctly in wireshark version 1.10.3
