I've checked into the libpcap main and 1.1 branches changes to implement "wlan ra" and "wlan ta"; they're not quite aliases (TA and RA aren't in management frames; the 802.11 spec says addr1 and addr2 are DA and SA, respectively).
When that'll appear in any OS releases depends on when the next libpcap release comes out and when it gets picked up by various OSes.

I've also checked into those branches a fix for that bug.
