I notice that when I modify an ASN.1 dissector source code file, that it

references to this problem nor any mention of attempts to address it.
The ASN.1 dissector generation hasn't been considered ready for "prime
time" yet (or at least that's what I heard a while ago). As such, the
(generated) ASN.1 dissector code is checked into source control.
A side effect of this is that if modify the ASN.1 source, you need to do
make the 'copy_files' target (in the ASN.1 dissector's directory) to get
the dissector generated and copy it into epan/dissectors/ .
