When MATE is instructed to extract fields from mgcp, it fails to do so. Debug
shows that although MATE actually could find the fields, it has an issue with
the size of the mgcp part of the frame, assuming that it consists of a single
byte, which likely prevents it from actually using the fields found (probably
because the mechanism preventing outer transports from being extracted gets
involved). So I suspect that the information about the mgcp part size, which
MATE sources from the mgcp dissector, is wrong (e.g., the mgcp dissector
indicates success by returning just 1 instead of the real size of the Tvbuf it
has processed).

When you process the attached sample capture using one of the MATE config as
below, the debug indicates more or less the same regardless whether mgcp is
indicated as Proto, Transport, or Payload.

Pdu mgcp_pdu Proto mgcp Transport udp/ip {
    Extract transid From mgcp.transid ;
    Extract ep From mgcp.req.endpoint ;
