Discovered while working on Pcap.Net (http://pcapdot.net).

In the attached pcap file there are two packets.

The first packet is an IPv6 packet with Local Mobility Anchor Address mobility
option with Option-Code=1. Wireshark parses its address as IPv4 address.

The second packet is an IPv6 packet with Local Mobility Anchor Address mobility
option with Option-Code=2. Wireshark parses its address as IPv6 address.

According to RFC 5949 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5949#section-6.2.2),
Option-Code=1 means IPv6 and Option-Code=2 means IPv4, exactly the opposite to
what Wireshark does.
