OK, the following hack in wiretap/netxray.c around line 303:

        hdr.network = pletohs(&hdr.network);
+       if (hdr.network == 513)
+               hdr.network = 0;
 
        if (hdr.network >= NUM_NETXRAY_ENCAPS
            || netxray_encap[hdr.network] == WTAP_ENCAP_UNKNOWN) {

allows one of those two to be read ...
