I've just done some test and found that the Mk16 is the only parachute that does this. However, when you point at any of the parts higher up in the construction tree, such as the base to the protective shell, you can still see a green highlight around the Mk16. You don't need to connect the part to see it disappear. You can select and hold a part with the mouse and move it behind the protective breakaway. Any part that displays the flag logo will cause the logo to vanish in the same way even if the part doesn't. The same goes with any green and black attachment point indicators (see attached "Invisible parts.png". They are hidden as well.

I'm changing the category from Parts to Graphics because this is not a functional issue with the parts but in how they are shown behind translucent textures.

After testing every part available in Core and Making History DLC, I have found the following other parts that exhibit this problem:
EAS-1 External Command Seat
TT18-A Launch Stability Enhancer (vertical scaffold part only)
All the protective shells (base visible, the fairing hidden, see file "Invisible parts 2.png")
