Is it possible that this is related to bug #23924, in the sense that the "new" model for the terrier makes it 21 meters long, so that it extends beyond the craft and is the first part to splash down?

I cannot reproduce this splash-down bug, but you are welcome to
try the Module-Manager patch at #20683 that corrects the dimensions of the Terrier engine in PartDatabase.cfg, which removes the Terrier's problems with heat and drag.

I confirmed with the attached rocket, launching into the water east of KSC.
The terrier is destroyed 20 meters above the water, letting the lower parts separate before they splash down.
The patch at #20683 restores the expected behavior, that only the lower-most parts are destroyed on splashdown.
