(I should state that my earlier comment was a bit bogus: if you're seeing COOs
then you must have 2 links so you "should" also see CBDs.)

Do you know that from the application itself or just by the fact that the link
comes back into service normally?
If the latter then:

Or Cisco is not using CBDs to do changeback on this (proprietary) interface.
Changeback is basically needed to ensure message ordering when rerouting SLS
from 1 link back to the restored link. An alternative to CBDs is to do a Time
Controlled Diversion. Or maybe some other message is used: I noticed that
there are some Cisco SM messages exchanged between the endpoints prior to the
link coming back up. They are not MTP3 messages (at least I can't make sense
of them) but Cisco could use them for the same purpose.
Anyway I don't think Wireshark is doing anything wrong here.
