Unless you've used register_dissector(), you have *not* successfully
registered the dissector by name - and the "Payload protocol" item in
the encapsulations table is really the payload *dissector*, not the
payload *protocol*.
You might have registered the *protocol* with proto_register_protocol
(), but there isn't necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between
protocols and dissectors (there might be multiple dissectors for the
same protocol, depending on whether, for example, extra metadata is
supplied for the protocol outside the packet data, or whether the
packets have an FCS, or whether the protocol is running atop TCP or
not, or....)
