This is the problem that the col_set_fence() API was meant to solve.  The SCTP
dissector, for example, uses it to prevent multiple (possibly different)
subdissectors from overwriting each others' COL_INFO stuff (not much can be
done for COL_PROTOCOL).

Is there something that this does better than setting a fence?  Couldn't, in
your example, the RTMP dissector just set a fence after each PDU has been fully
dissected (all subdissectors, if any, called)?
