It looks like it is just a GUI problem, the decode as functionality does work
for ethertype 0x0000 and 0xffff:

ethertype==0,ip

(don't be misled by the "Unknown type (0x0000)", they are produced by the NCP
dissector, the frames are indeed dissected as IP)

So I guess there is a little bug in the code that decides whether "Decode
As..." should be greyed out or not. I'll have a look...
