A few months ago we had the same problem with the star wars DVDs; there 
was no proper solution, but using -vobsubid instead of -sid might help 
here (it did not for me, on my system I have to dump the DVD on disc and 
play the disc, where the corresponding SID works fairly well, although 
color information for the subtitles are lost (they are stored in the IFOs)
