A pilot loaded into the Crew Cabin while non-pilot Kerbal in command pod (tested with Mk1 Command Pod) will allow for full SAS control of craft dependent on pilot skill level. This will not work if the Command Pod is unoccupied.

This occurs with any Kerbal container, not just the Mk1 crew container, as KSP is checking for the presence of a pilot on the vessel but not the Kerbals location on the vessel, and for a Kerbal in the pod but not that Kerbals type.
I guess you could say that Fredfield is telling Bob what lever to pull from the back.
Updating title.

Can confirm still present in 1.1.3 Winx64 so setting to updated but not sure whether its really a bug or feedback - as per sal_vager's comment above I like to think of it as "back seat driving".
As noted above, behaviour remains that it needs a body (any body) in the command cabin and a pilot anywhere on the vessel. A lone pilot in, eg, a hitchhiker, and an empty command cabin will not allow control.
