That would probably be dissect_ber_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER which calls 
dissect_ber_object_identifier_str(), which calls 
dissect_ber_any_oid_str() which calls oid_encoded2string.

Tracing through the ASN1 code is not very easy in my experience.  I have 
also been thinking that it would be nice to modify asn2wrs.py so that it 
would use the new style encapsulated hf variables but I haven't yet had 
time to dig into that.  Such a change would require some careful testing 
of all of the ASN1 protocols.
