It sounds as if what you *really* need is to have one or more of *your scripts* disabled.
This is not necessarily an issue specific to Lua scripts; a compiled plugin could cause similar problems.
Perhaps we need an option to disable particular plugins by name in TShark and some GUI option to disable them in Wireshark.
*If* your plugin (whether Lua or compiled) is a dissector, and it adds a *new* protocol, you should be able disable it with the --disable-protocol command-line option, specifying its protocol by name.
