Updated by Do note, that the strut will change ownership if it is put into a container on the other craft and then taken out.
If the ownership is important, then the strut should be changing ownership each time its connected to a new craft.

Updated by I have noticed this problem when using the struts on the same craft. I used EVA construction to connect them from one part to another on the same craft. Go to the tracking station and return, the struts are no longer connected between the parts. They look like the parts became released as their own separate craft, like when staging, where all you see is the base part of the strut. EVA to the strut and you can reattach it again. I end up having to do this while in orbit before landing in atmosphere on Duna and make sure I refuel and take off all without switching ships or reloading.
