My Windows 8.1 machine was giving 'Failed to initialize connection subsystem' messages this morning when trying to start a VPN connection to campus.
It looks like the solution is to disconnect and quit the Anyconnect application completely, then find the vpnui.exe application (probably in Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client). Right-click the application, and run the Compatibility Troubleshooter. Use the 'Try recommended settings' option, and it should come back with Windows 8. Try the Test Program button, and it should work again. This is version 3.1.06073. I tried a fresh install, too, but the adjustment is still needed.
