I try generate a ByteArray which contains decrypted data from a packet.

If I select a packet and select the bytes pane with the decrypted message,
correct data is show. When selecting a field from the decrypted message, the
decrypted bytes are garbled - length changes, values are random.

Stripped down dissector:
---
function p_myproto.dissector(tvb, pinfo, tree)
    local subtree = tree:add(p_myproto, tvb(), "MyProto")
    subtree:add(tvb(), "Raw message")

    local b = ByteArray.new()
    b.set_size(tvb():len())

    for i = 0, tvb():len - 1, 1 do
        out:set_index(i, tvb(i,1):uint() + 1) -- fake decrypt
    end

    local dec = ByteArray.tvb(b, "Decrypted")
    local dectree = subtree:add(dec(), "Decrypted message")
    dectree:set_generated()
    dectree:add(dec(1,1), "First byte")
end
---

As soon as I click on "First byte", the contents in the "Decrypted" pane is
garbled, but the dissection tree still shows the correct value.
