If I'm reading your report correctly, the issue being reported is about
Wireshark decoding non-TDS packets as TDS.

Wireshark uses a number of approaches towards identifying the packet type: port
number tests and etc and also 'heuristic' tests: does the data look like a
particular protocol.

It's been noted previously that the TDS heuristic test is a bit weak and should
be improved.

In any case, the work-around is to disable the TDS decode under
 Analyze ! Enabled Protocols.

(When I'm using Wireshark my tendency is to disable most of the protocol
decodes leaving only the ones I'm interested in so that I don't get confused by
by 'false positives').
