screen cap ... issue is with (first) row of 4 column list table. 

Not sure if this has always been true, but it is so counter intuitive, thought I'd report it as a bug. 

To brand a feature, I choice an existing plugin. 

I click on the "wtp" icon an get a list of branded features, there, in the "table list", The "provider" name and the "Feature Name" columns actual come from the branding plugin, instead of the feature. At least the feature Id is correct :) Not sure about the 'version' because I was was building this from my workspace (export, deployable feature) so the plugin and feature had same version. 

If this is "working as designed" that's fine ... we'll work around it ... just seemed pretty odd design. And, I thought maybe with some of the recent changes something might have regressed (but no idea how it used to work, since I've not done this work before)?

None of the mechanisms for branding in this table have (intentionally?) changed in 3.5.

The old about dialogs have been moved into pages inside the Installation Details dialog, but the content is the same.  So far I've not seen any changes in branding caused by that work, so the best bet is to try it on 3.4 and report any differences.

I suspect you intended to paste in another bug number, rather than simply this same self one?

Yes, I think can be counted as a dup
