This is most probably because on the system with the problem to decode the
AS-REP message, you have "Reassemble fragmented IP datagrams" unchecked. This
causes the AS-REQ to not be fully assembled and it needs the full PDU to
determine that frame 44/45 contain the AS-REP message. If you enable
"Reassemble fragmented IP datagrams" in the IP protocol preferences, you should
be fine.

This is a known limitation (see bug 3315), when you apply a display filter that
show you PDU's for which reassembly has been done on a lower layer, not all
fragments are saved. You can work around the issue by applying a filter at the
IP layer (in your case: ip.addr eq 10.32.161.25 and ip.addr eq 10.32.0.13)
