Based on a Google search, it looks like dvbviewer can decode them:

http://www.dvbviewer.tv/forum/topic/41933-brazilian-terrestrial-isdb-tb-subtitles-closed-caption/
http://www.dvbviewer.com/en/index.php

It's not open source, and it's not Linux, but at least it may give you
something to compare against if you want to build the functionality
yourself.

Not to my knowledge.  I've done a ton of work with CC decoding in VLC,
but haven't poked around at the other formats.

you're likely to not find many open source solutions which targeted at
that market.  Presumably there is less of that in Brazil (why else
would Mauro be doing all that ISDB-T work if there was no way to watch
the actual video?).

This would be very unusual.  Satellite captioning often has the same
issues - the decoders only support overlaying the captions over the
video and provide no means to access the underlying data.
