I had a problem, and found a solution, but now I am wondering if this
is the correct/best solution.

I noticed that I could not filter on some fields for the protocol I am
dissecting.  Closer inspection showed that fields
proto_tree_add_XXX_format, instead of proto_tree_add_item did not
filter correctly.

My work around was to call proto_tree_add_item_hidden in addition to
proto_tree_add_XXX_format.

Is this correct solution or does proto_tree_add_XXX_format have a bug?
It seems to me like I should be able to filter on items added with
proto_tree_add_XXX_format, but perhaps there is a good reason not to
do this that I am missing.
