So is the "match this field" feature, I suspect, so it'd have been too
bad had it not been changed as well....

Perhaps the correct answer is to match the field if you select a
filterable field in the protocol tree window, and to do a "raw bytes at
this offset" match if you select some text in the hex dump window.
