To state it a different way, its any packet that isn't decoded at any
layer above IP.  Take any protocol trace and turn off the decoding of
TCP and UDP and you should just see IP packets.

You're right.  The version of Ethereal I started working with didn't
have the code you mention.  I didn't notice the addition when patching
from the RPM sources to the CVS sources.  My change isn't necessary on
the current source base.
