I took a step back and looked up the Geneve specification, in section
3.3 [0] it is stated that the  UDP source port of the outer packet is
selected by the originating tunnel endpoint based on hashing the
encapsulated packet headers.

To me this means that there is nothing stopping the implementation from
ending up with UDP source port 53 regardless of what the encapsulated
packet actually is.

So I wonder if we should just exclude GENEVE packets from the captures,
so that we don't get these in the mix?

A filter like 'port 53 and not dst port 6801' would do, and we could
probably use that to filter the already captured data too.
