Wireshark is using a two-pass process. On the first pass every packet will be seen in packet order. The second pass happens when packets are displayed in the packet list, but also when a certain packet gets selected.

In your dissector code you need to make a distinction to what needs to be done only on the first pass (pinfo->fd->visited == false) and things that need to be done in subsequential passes.

Also reassembly of the TCP data is a little more complicated than what I can see in your Lua code.

Have a look at the doc/README.* documents in the repository for more detailed information.
