It is fixed in r37806. The currently
tshark -i lo0 -i en0 -f icmp sctp
will use sctp as the default capture filter. This means that the above is the same as
tshark -f sctp -i lo0 -i en0 icmp
or
tshark -i lo0 -f sctp -i en0 icmp
However,
tshark -i lo0 -f sctp icmp
does not result in an error anymore.
If we want to keep that behavior, then we must require that no interface specific
capture filter is used when the filter as an argument is given. Which behavior
do you prefer? The code change is simple...
