Perhaps VLC could by default start playing without having discovered whether subtitles exist? That wouldn't eliminate the problem, but it would be experienced by a much smaller group of people, and the problem would go from "video doesn't play" to "sometimes subtitles take a while to start", which would be lower impact.
