No, it's a feature.  :)

If not, how can I tell the difference between the two outputs?  I'd 
rather not write code that cares if tshark generated the output or 
Wireshark.

There is a TCP preference "Window scaling" that controls this.  Note 
that you must also have the "Analyze TCP sequence numbers" enabled for 
this to take effect.

As always, you can also specify an option override on the command line 
as -o tcp.window.scaling:TRUE
