Kerbal Model Culling

[Balto-the-Wolf-Dog]

I use KerbalEyeOffset in a few of my mod's pods, and it seemed previously to 1.1 the parent kerbal was invisible to its camera. Post 1.1 they render and are a bit invasive, particularly as they prevent the use of an eye offset that recedes the eyepoint a little into the actual kerbal, regrettable given the size of kerbal heads. It is admittedly hilarious, however.

Experience their glee (or terror) from within!

Is this intentional, and if it is is there a disable for internal configs or something to that effect? Forgive me if it's been mentioned somewhere else, but I'd rather not skim through volumes of 1.1 general posts.
