Does this patch help?  If not, I would consider blaming guids_add_guid for not initializing the key member of the emem_tree_key_t structure.  Even though I think either would be caught by the DISSECTOR_ASSERT_NOT_REACHED macro. Also, are there warning for emem_tree_lookup32_array() as well?

With this change Valgrind issues many, many warnings as Wireshark starts:
