What I would like to see is the abolishment of the pwc_packet_properties_t type
altogether. This is _not_ an enum.

I agree, and have come across another such "enum abuse" instance that may be harder to address. Specifically, in the 
header file gmessages.h there is a similar typedef enum called GLogLevelFlags which is also intended to provide names 
for bitflags rather than actually enumerate.  This construct is used a number of places in the Wireshark code (such as 
line 3169 of plugins/asn1/packet-asn1.c).  Adding a cast quiets the compiler, but is there a better way that doesn't 
require rewriting glib-2.0?

        mylogh = g_log_set_handler (NULL, GLogLevelFlags(G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL
                                                    | G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION), my_log_handler, NULL);
