My guess is that there is one or more if(tree) check somewhere in the code that makes that add_tagged_field() is never
called during the first phase
of dissecting. If you remove those if(tree) checks it will probably work.

If I remember correct first time the dissector is called in Ethereal check_col(pinfo->cinfo,COL_INFO) is TRUE, but tree
is NULL if there is no display/color filter applied.
