Who says that? VSFilter? Some other software? What does libass do?

It's a VSFilter extension in SRT subtitles. FFmpeg just passes these
along to libass. If libass has different behavior, it should be fixed,
as it mostly strives to be VSFilter compatible. It makes not the
slightest sense to "fix" this here.
