Does it happen if you capture with tcpdump?
...with "tcpdump -s 0 -w /tmp/capturefile", to be precise, to duplicate dumpcap's use of libpcap (dumpcap is run by Wireshark to do packet capture) and to avoid mixing printed output with error messages.
It almost certainly *will* happen with tcpdump; as indicated, the error comes from libpcap, used both by dumpcap and tcpdump.
