Presumably unfullfillable satellite upgrade contract in 1.11

[Anarchomine]

Hi all!

I upgraded to 1.11 and accepted a contract to attach a part to an existing satellite in Kerbin orbit. Since the part (Stratus-V Cylindrified Monopropellant Tank) could not be stored in inventory parts, I added one to my vessel to later weld it to the target satellite and made sure that the Kerbalnaut was an engineer. Unfortunately, I noticed that I could not target the tank once I was in orbit next to the satellite. Other parts, e.g. the solar panels on my vessel or the RCS thrusters on the satellite, were targetable, and I could reassemble them as i pleased. See also the screenshot at https://www.dropbox.com/s/eriivbegqpbswkb/2020-12-31_0933_1.png?dl=0

My guess is that the contract was bugged from the start, since the Stratus-V Cylindrified Monopropellant Tank simply isn't one of the parts that can be manipulated in EVA construction. I do not use external contract generation addons nor part mods, see my modlist below.  Before reporting it as a bug though, I wanted to know if maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for your help in advance!

I believe this has been encountered by others and there is a bug on the KSP bug tracker (though I can’t find it right now). That particular tank can’t be added to inventories, but the thread below contains a simple module manager patch to make it work:
