I can confirm this on Linux. It feels like whatever mechanic that tries to keep the wheels on the ground remains in effect after docking. This issue is annoyingly hard to reproduce because getting the rover and lander lined up to dock is challenging.

The best steps I found to reproduce the issue are:
  1. Select the attached craft and select for "launch" from the pad
  2. Lower the landing legs
  3. Decouple the docking clamp to drop the rover
  4. Switch back to the lander
  5. raise the landing legs to drop atop the rover
  6. activate engines and launch
  7. try to steer ... the rover will remain parallel to the ground

This issue can be worked around by quick savings and quick loading after docking the rover, which restores normal control.
