I'm not sure exactly how i would go about testing the bug or which approach to use to fix it. I had a playthrough in Warptorio 2 before and i never noticed the issue...
But instead of re-entering the vehicle you can use the hotkey once or twice, which i think defaulted to Shift-V. Just 1 use of hotkey should reflect current state to the bottom right quickbar button too. Clicking that would also force a state change.
I just had a quick check in source code and all the data is linked to the actual players. Which surface or force they belong to should not be relevant.
