By very carefully editing the wireshark preferences file (in documents and settings\application data\Wireshark), it seems to decode http from the example and raw data. Here is the line in the file

ssl.keys_list: 11.38.144.142,3700,data,e:\netcap\initiator.key;127.0.0.1,443,http,e:\transfer\snakeoil2\rsasnakeoil2.key

I screwed semicolon, file location and a couple other things before getting it right.

I can't seem to get it to decode the first one into a new plugin. If I replace "data" with "new_plugin" (the actual name of the new plugin), this (line 1455 in my version of the packet-ssl-utils.c) returns NULL:

ssl_association_add(...)
...
  assoc->handle = find_dissector(protocol);


Is that because the "new_plugin" hasn't been loaded yet when this is called? Is there a way around this?
