From the code

/*
 * if we don't already have a version set for this conversation,
 * but this message's version is authoritative (i.e., it's
 * not client_hello, then save the version to to conversation
 * structure and print the column version
 */

So at the time of setting the column it cannot be authoritatively established what version of protocol is used.
