The TCP preference for (sub)dissecting error packets (including
retransmissions) defaulted to "yes" in 1.12 but was switched to "no" in later
versions (change I2871c2a90c601637bdfb8cffaa34a7407995c603 ).

Indeed, setting the "Do not call subdissectors for error packets" option in
1.12 causes frame 34 to be correctly (I guess) dissected as a TLS certificate
followed by a "Hello done."

--> I think this can/should be closed as "works as designed/as well as it can".
