Mark,

Thanks for the instructions, I was able to easily reproduce the situation.
 The problem with the MythTV code is that all the forced subtitle track
logic is limited to DVD-style AV subtitle tracks.  It will take some
reorganization to apply that to embedded text subtitle tracks as well, but
I'll look into it.
