It means that there needs to be some way in a Wireshark protocol tree to 
distinguish "XXX is a protocol inside YYY" from "XXX is the next 
instance of a protocol after the YYY instance of that protocol".

Currently, there isn't, so the protocol statistics are bogus for 
protocols that, for example, run over TCP, so that you can have multiple 
packets for the protocol within one TCP segment.

No, but, from the point of view of the protocol statistics code in 
Wireshark, it looks that way.
