Hi Taylor,
first of all as minor excuse the libvirt-wireshark package is not in main and 
thereby "only" on community level of support and testing which might be the 
reason that it still has some rough edges.

OTOH it shouldn't be broken as you describe it:
- There was a major bump of wireshark (for security reasons) from 2.4 to 2.6
- your libvirt build still was built against the older 2.4
- in the meantime I already have fixed that and e.g. 4.0.0-1ubuntu8.6 properly 
links against wireshark 2.6
  File at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/2.6/libvirt.so

I'd hope that this already resolves bug #1
I'd ask you to re-test this, but if it fails you might give newer releases a 
try.
For example Ubuntu 18.10 there is libvirt 4.6 which might have some fixups to 
the dissector.
But looking at the git repo after libvirt 4.0 there is only one related change 
which doesn't seem to match your issue.

Retrying with the newer libvirt that is correctly built for wireshark 2.6 might 
be worth a try, but as I said - if it is not resolving it you'd need to mostly 
analyze for yourself what the issue is.
If you have found something I might be able to help to upstream it thou, so 
keep me updated.
