I decided to crosspost because I felt that this thread now belonged on the
"coder's" list
rather than the "user's" list. Sorry if I offended you.

I believe I can squeeze that behavior... I've got everything I need to do
the job
except for that target address, because the addresses are visible, but the
decode type information (protocol ID)is currently lost, and... The session
structure that is passed down does have definitions for this information,
but for some reason does not have it populated.
As an outsider coming into this code/API, I'd consider that a bug that the
fields are defined, but not populated.
I've decided (for now) to persue using the un-tagged data.
