After reviewing TightVNC's source code and further prodding of the user who
experienced the issue, it turned out that the *client* that was used to
generate the invalid VNC traffic was a gtk client using the gtk-vnc library. 

It appears that any VNC clients using gtk-vnc before that particular bug was
fixed[1] will exhibit the described protocol violation that prevents wireshark
from dissecting the session.
