This part was intentional.  See r45715.  The relevant comment in the SVN log
is:

 2) Allow for packet hex/ascii to be printed without necessarily requiring that
 either packet summary or packet details also be printed.  This just means that
 if you want packet summary information, use "-Px" instead of just "-x".

Part of my reasoning in doing that was because Wireshark already allows you to
do this , so this just means you now have the same capability with tshark as
you do with Wireshark.  It gives the user a bit more control as to what gets
printed.
