I guess something fails with respect to the
proto_tree_add_item(..., proto_..., ...) call.
Oddly enough, the actual dissection for the protocol does appear in
the details pane.
I believe the changes (5460d7f & 3da89d6) should be reverted until
they are properly tested/fixed.

OK, yes, this is very strange.
The result of that change should be only that we *don't* fake the tree
item in certain uncommon cases - it certainly shouldn't be causing wider
problems like this. My understanding is that we should be able to, e.g.
randomly not fake the tree 10% of the time without causing problems as
it is an optimization only, so I'm not sure why adding *any* extra
condition at all would break things like this.
Is TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM ever more than an optimization? Does anyone
else know why *not* faking the tree could cause problems?
See Bug #10345.
If someone can confirm this, I do believe that the change should be
reverted until the issue is straightened out.
