I don't have a proble with how its worded but would this be clearer?
Window size scaling factor: unknown (start of session not captured)

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Should we have "Window size scaling factor: -1 (unknown)" in the packet details, or just leave the scaling factor out?

At least one user was confused by that entry:

	http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/10466/window-size-scaling-factor-unknown

Is it useful at all?  If so, how would it be best rewritten so that it doesn't imply anything other than "the capture doesn't contain enough information for Wireshark to know the scaling factor", with no implication that this is a network problem?
