-fix_sub_duration is an input option. Did you try to put it before -i?

If it does not work, can you make an excerpt of the file available¹? It only
needs to be a few seconds long with two subtitles event. That may also help
to investigate the color problem (probably a palette issue).

To cut a VOB file, you just need to cut the file at 2048 octets boundaries;
I have no idea how to do that with windows.

This behaviour is a bit strange, though, as dvdsub, unlike dvbsub, have a
correct timing information.
