OK, the per-file link-layer type for the file is 1, meaning Ethernet, but the per-packet link-layer type for most of the packets is 0.  That's probably a quirk either of VPN captures or general PPP captures.

I've checked into the trunk and 1.4 branches a change to treat a link-layer type of 0 as Ethernet; that allows it to read your capture.
