Comment # 7 on bug 9850 from 
TShark, GTK, and Qt all exhibit the same behavior and my guess is that it's a
"IP sorting" problem.  Note that the "GUI" lists Source A and Source B, NOT
Source/Destination.

So either:
1. How IPv6 addresses are being compared (raw byte compare with memcmp) in
conversation data collection is wrong.
2. The "IPv4 source address" in packet 1 of ipv4_ping.pcapng is "greater than"
the "IPv4 destination address" of packet 1 and the "IPv6 source address" in
packet 1 of ipv6_ping.pcapng is "less than" the "IPv6 destination address" of
packet 1.

I'm more inclined to go with #2 and mark this NOTABUG, but wanted another
opinion.
