Downadup detected in Wireshark plugins directory?

Yesterday (4/1/09), Clamwin began reporting coseventcomm.dll and cosnaming.dll as infected with downadup. These two dlls are standard plugins for Wireshark (the network protocol analyzer). The files are located in the C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.0.6\ directory. I scanned the files in question with AVG and Symantec products, neither of which found an infection. A friend of mine also scanned his Wireshark plugins directory using Clamwin portable with the same results (infected). I'm pretty confident that this qualifies as a false positive. Has anyone else run into this with Wireshark and Clamwin?

Here is the scan report:
