Description:  I'm attaching a save and a video of this one.  When throttling the dawn engines on my craft up, the craft starts to shake and rotate violently until it tears itself apart.

:)  Oh good.  I often try to entertain with my bug report titles.

I'm honestly not sure if it should be merged or not.  It's really just a suspicion I have,  that it's the same bug.

I guess I'd say leave it separate until we know more?

Quite possible that it is due to the engines overlapping each other.  IIRC there was a report of an issue where thrust did not even occur if the nozzles of engines overlapped.  I've made several ion engine craft with several ion engines, but I make sure that the engine mount plates don't even overlap to ensure no issues, and I've had none - maybe this is causing your shake quake.  I'm not saying they wont address it - no idea what their design intent is on overlapping parts.  I suppose they dont care usually, as it seems that in most cases of part overlap or embedding parts within parts seems harmless, and is necessary at times for aesthetics or aerodynamics, or more simply, their lack of numerous other parts to achieve certain design goals - they dont penalize you in reagrds to fuel quantity for putting fuel tanks inside of other fuel tanks - but when it comes to parts that creates thrust, overlap can certainly cause problems, and unsure if they would want to spend the time to fix  this physics violation (of overlapping parts, even though it is fully allowed in the VAB).
