If the router changes its mind about the route, the only way you're
going to get the traffic you want is to capture on all interfaces on
which the packet could conceivably arrive.


Well, yes.
As I would think of Ethereal as a measuring tool, I would like accuracy for the features it provides. 

A feature with 90% accuracy might still be more useful than no feature
at all.
It might be an idea to show all *possible* interface with the most likely marked as such.
