Ethereal itself doesn't capture packets; it relies on libpcap and the
OS's packet capture mechanism on UNIX, and WinPcap on Windows, to do
that.
So this is probably a WinPcap issue; therefore...

I would suggest you try capturing with WinDump:
http://windump.polito.it/
and see if the same problem happens: if so, it's *definitely* a WinPcap
issue, so you should ask the WinPcap developers about it:
