Your sample capture also has some other issues:
in some packets, such as the first one, there are suboption 8 items that have 6 bytes, not 3, so it appears to encode the OUI as ASCII rather than binary;
I know. It's a bug -- not in Ethereal, but in the device sending the packet. This is one of the reasons why I originally implemented this option 43 dissection (to make those bugs visible) and why I didn't make the capture publicly available (to not blame on that particular vendor -- other's aren't any better).
the DNS name stuff in CableLabs client configuration options isn't working - I'll look at that.
Yes, I hadn't noticed this yet: those parts of DHCP option 122 dissection got broken, too. I'm pretty sure this has been working before (in Rev. 12338).
