Well I think I have found the problem just after I sent the e-mail.
Within the dissector I have an:
if( tree )
{
/* code that adds stuff to the tree and also changes the offset along */
}
/* pass up to the next sub-dissector */
What I have forgotten to do is adjust the offset if there is no tree (which is
the case in tethereal without the -V. I am about to try out that change and
see how it goes. Feel like a bit of an idiot really, should have checked that.
Oh well....thanks for you reply though.

yep it did work!
