Reproduction steps:

So I built a Minmus lander designed to allow multiple landings packed with science. I built a launcher, chucked a nuclear engine on it to allow plenty of dV to get to Minmus and return without needing to aerobrake (I know it makes more sense fuel-wise, but it takes so long, and I value my limited gaming time ).

For some reason my Kerbals are cloning whenever I leave my vessel with a nuclear engine in the lower stage, and I lose the ability to access my crew roster until I decouple something.

Here's my vehicle in the VAB, without fairings: http://i.imgur.com/1jlNKj4.jpg

In orbit, just before staging the nuclear engine and losing the standard lower stage, I can still EVA and board without a problem here: http://i.imgur.com/JNqybgM.jpg

Lost the bottom stage, nuclear engine activated, EVA'd and boarded; my Kerbal clones outside of the vessel, and crew roster disappears from the lower right: http://i.imgur.com/mikL2FA.jpg

I can't switch to the cloned Kerbal. Also, if I fire off my "love Science!" group (decouples and throws away the science pack on top to save return dV), or separate the lander from the nuclear stage, my crew roster reappears. If I board while still connected to the nuclear stage, the problem reoccurs. If I board after detaching from the nuclear stage, the problem goes away - though any cloned Kerbals remain. If I dock with the nuclear stage again, then the cloning issue returns.

So I rebuilt it with a standard engine, a Poodle this time, again without fairings: http://i.imgur.com/4lXCBnu.jpg

(EVA occurs at line 88885, boarded again straight after)

I've got exactly this problem too, so just leaving this in a hope for a solution.

I'm hitting the same bug, except I also lose my staging stack and the burn meter to the right of the navball. My ship has no nuclear engines, however. I've got KAS, KIS and MechJeb2 installed. My ship has a Hitchhiker Can, a basic Command Module and a Probodobodyne HECS. I leave the ground with four tourists and an empty command module. The issue occurs when I rescue a Kerbal from orbit. As soon as you press "B" to board the Kerbal into the empty command module, the staging stack disappears along with the burn meter and the crew roster. The Kerbal gets cloned and is still hanging onto the command capsule, but he's actually inside. You can complete the mission without the staging stack, and the rescued Kerbal is actually inside the command module.
