1) Loaded a previously saved vessel.

2) Deleted all the stages except the top one with a command pod + heat shield + decoupler + fuel tank + engine.

3) It was a terrier engine with a FL-T200 + a FL-T400 and it showed 450 m/s when the dV calculator was set to vacuum mode.

4) Saved the craft and reloaded it and the dV correctly showed the value as 2,734 immediately after reloading.

Before saving and loading the craft I tried changing the fuel levels, reattaching tanks, adding new  fuel tanks, etc, which did nothing to fix the problem. It continued to show excessively low values. Changing it to atmosphere mode changed the dV to an even lower value since that would normally be expected for that engine in the atmosphere, although it was still the wrong value compared to after the reload.
