(Replying to the list for the benefit of others.)

Nope, works fine on Windows as well.  I can't speak for the Express
versions of Visual Studio, but certainly for Pro version upwards I
regularly use the debugger with Wireshark.  The way I do it is shown
below and is using VS2005 Professional.  Menu names etc. might be
different in other versions:

   1. Assuming you have built Wireshark somewhere {wiresharkPath}, cd
      into the resultant directory with the executable and all the
      required DLL's {wiresharkPath\wireshark-gtk2}.
   2. Start Wireshark from this directory with any required command line
      options (wireshark.exe ...).
   3. In Visual Studio, from the Tools menu select "Attach to Process...".
   4. From the resultant dialog locate the wireshark.exe process and
      click the "Attach" button.
   5. To set a breakpoint, open the appropriate source file using "File
      | Open | File..." (from wherever in {wiresharkPath}) and place a
      BP in the normal VS manner.
   6. Do whatever you need in WS to cause your BP to be hit. 
      Occasionally VS will ask where to find a source file if you step
      into another module, just point it at the appropriate directory
      under {wiresharkPath}
