It seems that the mass of the remote control is not counted (or reduced) for in-combat/orbital view delta-V calculations, while its full mass of 1 kg is counted for delta-V display in designer, briefings etc. This leads to severe discrepancies between both numbers for very small missiles.
Edit: Further testing has revealed that the bug occurs only for missiles in which there are no warhead modules (be they nuclear or explosive). This has the effect of, until it is fixed, effectively buffing pure KKVs.
The missile in question, when viewed in the designer.
The very same missile, in combat view and with full tanks, after having miraculously gained 1.3 km/s of delta-V.
