When I turned on 'Trust Content-Lenght', the POST that contained the multipart became 'continuation' as well...

Specifically, I see that the parsing of media is done in the packet boundaries, and not on the stream - so if there are other parts in the next packet, it is treated sa 'continuation'. 


Only if you haven't turned on the

    Desegment all HTTP headers spanning multiple TCP segments

and
Trust the "Content-length:" header and desegment HTTP bodies spanning multiple TCP segments
options for the HTTP dissector, along with the "Allow subdissector to desegment TCP streams" option for the TCP dissector (and if your traffic includes packets sent on an interface that does TCP checksum offloading and that is on the machine running Ethereal/Tethereal, also turn off the "Check the validity of the TCP checksum when possible" option).
