Hmmm, indeed it does. It's because the secondary filter needs to reopen
the packet source, and in this case a second open of stdin gets in trouble
because both filters share the same kernel file descriptor.
It works if you instead use -r filename.

Note, you can use "ipsumdump --collate -w whole-shebang.trace *.trace" to
glue together multiple pcap files into a single coherent trace.
