I've been thinking that also. Or stderr.
When gksudo was used to start wireshark, and the dumpcap -S -M process is being sent a SIGPIPE (13, broken pipe), dumpcap does not exit. When sudo was used, dumpcap does. So I reckon it could also have something to do with signal handling.
Maybe someone knowing Gtk programming can have a look at it?
I also noticed that there have been upstream changes around hidden -Z
dumpcap option ('capture_child mode'). These changes were in Februari 2008. See the upstream ChangeLog file. It might be related but also it might not.
