I was probably not clear in comment #1, sorry about that.
I meant that, by activating the BER option, we can see that the 3 bytes are the
BER Tag and Length encoding that is *before* the goosePdu bitstream itself
(which is the Value part of the BER TLV) that starts at the position
highlighted in the byte pane.
Personally I do not consider this as a bug from a BER encoding point of view:
it's just that with the default view you have fields that are hidden (the BER
ones).
I will let other developers comment if they do not share my point of view.
