Using se_alloc is the conclusion I came to.... (when the code frees GMemChunk memory per-capture). However: packet-isakmp destroys GMemChunks more often. I haven't yet looked at the other dissectors (and other code) using GMemChunks to see if there are other cases wherein GMemChunks are destroyed more often than every capture. If so, it occurs to me that it might be quite simple to just allow dissectors & etc to init/alloc/free their own emem_chunks using slightly generalized emem code.....
