Actually I believe we also need to initialize LanguagePreference to a "high value".
The full patch I'll add for version 1.6.0 is this:

--- device.c    2008/02/23 13:09:01     1.155
+++ device.c    2008/03/07 15:26:23

 void cDevice::EnsureSubtitleTrack(void)
 {
   if (Setup.DisplaySubtitles) {
-     eTrackType PreferredTrack = ttSubtitleFirst;
-     int LanguagePreference = -1;
+     eTrackType PreferredTrack = ttNone;
+     int LanguagePreference = INT_MAX; // higher than the maximum possible value
      for (int i = ttSubtitleFirst; i <= ttSubtitleLast; i++) {
          const tTrackId *TrackId = GetTrack(eTrackType(i));
          if (TrackId && TrackId->id && I18nIsPreferredLanguage(Setup.SubtitleLanguages, TrackId->language, LanguagePreference))

With this, if I set the preferred subtitle language to Finnish (suomi),
Petri's example works as expected: the narrator is not subtitled, while the
woman is.

Please verify and let me know if this works for you, too - and doesn't
break anything else.
