That's probably because, when the UAT code was created, it was assumed that all
UATs would control preferences that affected dissection.  That's not the case
with the display filter macro UAT.

I've checked into the trunk a change to replace the UAT category with a bitset
of items the UAT affects; the current members of that set can be "dissection"
(changing the UAT causes a redissection) and "the set of named fields"
(changing the UAT causes a redissection *and* an update of the packet summary
pane).  Perhaps we should also have "filter macros", so that changing the UAT
causes a refiltering, in case the display is currently filtered using a display
filter that uses a macro that might have been changed when the UAT was edited.
