MythTV has used this fix since 2010-06-04.  See 
https://github.com/ulmus-scott/FFmpeg/commit/e2b1a6ee63c0cccc1ac9c82d24e2e6cfffeb2bfc

libavcodec/dvdsubdec.c: default to white instead of yellow

from Improved display of DVD subtitles in containers other than the 
original. 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/2510a0821ea4453eb9b34dd96e68ff0441459d0b
references: https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8222
For whatever strange reason, ffmpeg has always used yellow:
