This is actually normal and expected behavior for all fields added to the tree
using proto_tree_add_text() since no value actually gets added.  However, for
the TCP segment data, I committed a change in r36629 so that
proto_tree_add_bytes_format() is used instead, thus the field will now be
filterable and when you copy the value, it will now copy the actual bytes and
not the description.  This change has been scheduled to be back-ported, but it
might have just missed the cut for 1.4.5.  If so, look for it in 1.4.6.

Until then, you can copy the bytes using, for example, the "Copy -> Bytes (Hex
Stream)" choice instead.  Actually, depending on your needs, you may still want
to use that as "Copy -> Value" will copy the bytes separated by colons whereas
"Copy -> Bytes (Hex Stream)" will copy the bytes without the colons between
them.
