Comment (by eriktorbjorn):

 Unless I completely misunderstand, I'm seeing the correct behavior on
 Android 2.8.1.1.

 Each subtitle has a 16-bit "flags" value, and one of these bits apparently
 indicate that the subtitle is tied to the subtitles setting. A comment in
 the code says, "if subtitles disabled and bit 3 is set, then do not draw",
 and that bit is not set on the mandatory subtitles.

 That comment has been there since at least ScummVM 0.3.0 which was
 released close to 22 years ago, so it seems something else must be going
 on here.

 The only thing I can think of is if the movie files were compressed (I
 think there is still support for that?), and the compression tool
 accidentally threw away that data. I think something like that did happen
 in the past, but I stopped using the compression tools when disk space
 became more plentiful so I haven't kept up.
