Slight correction on my part: tshark sets the handlers for the WARNING,
MESSAGE, INFO and DEBUG levels to "ignore". ERROR log messages go the the
default handler which outputs a message to stderr before aborting.

I don't know why tshark discards WARNING, etc messages.

A thought would be to have tshark use the console_log_level preference to
determine which messages are sent to stderr.

The default is  G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING | G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL | G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR.
