Having implemented Export Objects on a different custom TFTP-like protocol,
I experienced the same thing.

With tshark, -2 is observed if set, and that can result in different
behavior. Generally more accurate information is obtained with two passes,
which is equivalent to Wireshark behavior.

There are certain protocols where single pass analysis just isn't
sufficient to determine all the data, and dissectors where some state
object is set, like packet-dcm.c, are a common case.
