Description

This is a bug that appeared in a previous version of KSP. Kerbals are no longer being occluded in cargo/service bays/fairings and are consequently producing huge amounts of drag and running the risk of exposure to re-entry heat.

Note that this bug was fixed for 1.4.4 in MK3 cargo bays only. For some reason, those are behaving differently from all the other bays.

Reproduction:
Launch one of the test vehicles.
Turn on "View Aero Data in Context Menus" in the Physics/Aero tab of the Debug menu.
EVA a kerbal and walk it over to a seat, with the bay open.
Seat the kerbal.
Open and pin the context menus for the Kerbal, and the Command seat.
Close the bay.
Select the Command Pod of the craft and choose "Control from here" in the PAW.
Turn on SAS.
Stage the engine.
Increase throttle.

Result:
The Kerbal's PAW will show drag, while the command seat is shown with zero drag because it's occluded.
