After flying a mission, I am unable to save my game. When I click the button to confirm a quicksave, the UI gets stuck in a wierd state where I can't do anything, until I hit ESC again. If I click Exit to Desktop, nothing happens. (I also tried returning to space center or tracking station - nothing happens when I click those, either.)
When I click save, I see a NullReferenceException. The output log was also getting spammed continuously with that "root part drag cube" error message:
OS, game version and other details listed at the bottom, after the stack trace.
[FlightIntegrator]: Root part's drag cube is still zeroed!

Since I am prevented from saving the game, I don't have a save that demonstrates the issue. I will include the latest save game file that I have.
Details of the game session:
1) Chatted on Steam in-game overlay
2) Went to tracking station
3) Launched using auto-saved ship
4) Grabbed the asteroid that is already in orbit around Kerbin (and has another ship attached to it)
5) Mined with both drills until storage tank is full
6) Separated and returned to Kerbin
7) Ran atmospheric experiments in upper atmosphere over polar ice cap
7) Successful landing on polar ice cap
Note: In some ship stages, manual activation of the engine is required, due to weird behavior during stage separation. Sometimes I have to cycle through debris using square bracket keys to get control of the next stage.
I was not able to quickly reproduce the issue with a fresh launch.
Save game files are from an older version (maybe a originally started maybe 6 months ago; last save is maybe a month or two old - not sure how to check which version).
After force-closing and restarting the game, I was able to start a mission with the auto-saved ship and exit the game normally.
