There is an open issue (15487: Add ability to resolve EUI-64 MAC address via ethers file) that also discusses short names and includes a Lua post dissector to set names.

The mapping to "Broadcast" is hard coded (packet-ieee802154.c):

    if (ieee_802_15_4_short_addr == 0xffff)
    {
        (void) g_strlcpy(buf, "Broadcast", buf_len);
        return 10;
    }
