This is PSML output, not PDML output.

I don't know why you get PSML instead of PDML. 
It might be a bug, but I cannot reproduce it (and I don't
see anything obviously wrong in the source code either).

What Ethereal/Tethereal version are you using (have you built it yourself from CVS)?

I'm using Ethereal 0.10.4 on my PC and I can only
choose between pdml, ps and text for the -T option, and
I get PDML if I specify "-T pdml".

Ethereal 0.10.4 can generate PDML with "File/Export as XML - PDML (packet details) file ..." 
and PSML with "File/Export as XML -PSML (packet summary) file ...".
