I believe the dragon stays with the army and the new commander.
At least it did for me when I tried it.  My expectation is that
in this case, a dragon follows the same rules as characters with
an army when a transfer command occurs.  Of course, it is always
possible that the dragon will choose the same turn to leave the army
anyway.

Side note about that transfer: I (as Dog Lord) had finally put together a
2000 HvCav army, mostly in steel armor and weapons, with two dragons, and
morale was high due to 6 previous successful battles by the same army.
I transferred command to a 100+ commander and was going to send them
reinforcements of 1200 HvCav the next turn so they would have staying power.
You can see they were all set to go on a major rampage, breaking through
scattered defenses and capturing major strong points.  And what happens?
The other side bails out and final victory is ours on turn 23.  :-)
