(srt-)subtitle options saved into playlist but not loaded

Tested on auto-updatet windows and os x versions.

I open a video file with subtitles, and everything works nicely. Then I proceed to save thus created playlist. Both m3u and xspf contain info for the subtitles used.

When I open the saved playlist, no subtitles are shown, and menu shows no subtitle tracs in the video.

So I think this is a bug or missing implementation in playlist loading.

Example of vlc-saved playlist

jupet@mbm-2:Desktop$ cat testixspf.xspf 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">
        <title>Playlist</title>
        <trackList>
                <track>
                        <location>file:///Users/jupet/Desktop/sprvideot/hypotermia/Hypotermia.mp4</location>
                        <duration>1390442</duration>

                                <vlc:option>subsdec-encoding=(null)</vlc:option>
                                <vlc:option>subsdec-align=0</vlc:option>
                                <vlc:option>freetype-rel-fontsize=16</vlc:option>
                        </extension>
                </track>
        </trackList>
        <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
                        <vlc:item tid="0" />
        </extension>
</playlist>

My friend says that version 0.9.8a shows playlist-loaded videos with at least similarly named subtitles in same folder (on windows). Can't test that myself.
