EIGRP packet with allegedly bad checksum

Build Information:
Version 2.3.0 (v2.3.0rc0-805-g064f4d1 from unknown)

Dear Wireshark developers,

The dissection engine falsely asserts that EIGRP packet's checksum is
incorrect, although it is absolutely correct according to [1]. Below is excerpt
from RFC7868:

---
The checksum will be the standard ones' complement of the ones' complement sum.
 For purposes of computing the checksum, the value of the checksum field is
zero.

The packet is attached. Thanks.
