If Wireshark was previously unable to read 2 concatenated pcap-ng files, it is
able to do so now.  I tested this by running dumpcap twice as follows:

    dumpcap.exe -n -i 7 -w bug3772_1.pcapng
    dumpcap.exe -n -i 7 -w bug3772_2.pcapng

I then concatenated the two files:

    cat bug3772_1.pcapng bug3772_2.pcapng > bug3772.pcapng

After that I was able to successfully load the concatenated bug3772.pcapng file
into Wireshark.
