This issue has been addressed in work done after wireshark 0.99.5 was
released.
(See http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=491).

In the current wireshark there are now actually two filters:

frame.time_delta             ; delta since last captured frame
frame.time_delta_displayed   ; delta since last displayed frame

If you are running on Windows, you can obtain a recent development version of
wireshark from http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/win32/

or: you can wait until wireshark 0.99.6 is released.
