I have fixed this as part of SVN revision 24511.
On a related note, if you add a new custom column and try to apply /
prepare ... as filter on it, it will use the values from the column that
used to be there until you restart Wireshark. This is probably a
problem with the function that recreates the packet list on the fly that
I added a while back. I'll look into that at some point unless someone
beats me to it :).
