Fighting the same thing now.

Also, in the middle of the process something corrupted ModuleManager's config cache leading to game freezing during loading of stock parts. Solution for that secondary problem: delete ModuleManager.ConfigCache file in GameData.

Ok, found the problem. If you fire a Kerbal in Astronaut Complex that has logged an achievement (say, completed an orbit, etc.) then after some time it may disappear from the list of potential recruits, at which point it is removed from save - and then the UI breaks.

Solution: find the missing Kerbal manually in your persistent.sfs and either remove it's name from the achievement or add it to the available Kerbals list. There's also apparently a fix for this bug that can be applied beforehand (but after it happens, save editing seems to be the only rescue).

Even without module manager killing crew mods it still happens
