The protocol filter isn't based on the value in the protocol column.
Instead it's based on the value given to the protocol registration method 'proto_register_protocol'
Look at the example here:
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html
the filter will be 'foo' since the 3rd argument to this method is 'foo'.
Did you use 'some_string' there as well?

Yeah, I just went back and made sure that the third argument was the
same, including case, as what I used in col_set_str.
