I added them to libwireshark.def and my code linked where it got LNK2019 errors before. Were these omitted accidentally or on purpose?
They weren't omitted on purpose. They were probably omitted because they were added by a UN*X user; by default, UN*X dynamic shared libraries export every non-static symbol, unlike Windows DLLs.

Yes.

Create an account on the Wireshark Bugzilla:
http://bugs.wireshark.org/
and file it there.

dissectors, dfilter and wslua are "libraries" only during the build process; the routines in those libraries should end up in libwireshark.
