Comment # 2 on bug 8084 from
This happens because the TCP dissector hands off the data to the "data"
dissector in this case.  Therefore, "tcp contains ff:ff:ff:ff" works as does
"data contains ff:ff:ff:ff" (or even "data.data contains ff:ff:ff:ff"), but
"tcp.data contains ff:ff:ff:ff" does not.

A lot of protocols hand off undissected data to the "data" dissector, so I
think this issue applies to more than just the TCP dissector.
