No, no type mismatch.  I know of no C implementations on modern  
machines that support a 24-bit integral data type, so there's no  
"guint24" type.  A 24-bit value fits in 32 bits, so guint32 works fine  
for the routines to get 24-bit values.

However, as Stephen Fisher noted, unless you actually need to look at  
the value, just use proto_tree_add_item().
