From what we've been able to determine, it doesn't.  There *are* some fields in the iptrace per-packet header that we haven't figured out yet; I don't know whether one of them happens to be the length of the packet on the wire or not - if you could supply us with one of those captures, we could try to see whether the length on the wire is in one of those fields.
