...which means you can't use tvb_get_stringz() - or tvb_strsize() - for the *last* string, as there's no NUL at the end.

That means that, if you don't know which string is the last one, you can't use it for *any* string - it means that a 
string is terminated either by NUL or by the end of the packet.
