Avidemux and vertical subtitles

I'm trying to convert a bunch of MKV files to AVI, for viewing on a home theatre system. Avidemux does everything beautifully after a few experiments with pixel ratio, resolution etc.
The MKV files contain A S S subtitles, which Avidemux's Subtitles filter renders with a few differences from the whatever-the-engine-is-that-does-it-in-mplayer. The fonts are a bit thinner, the italics are a bit more slanted, no big deal.
The real problem lies in vertical text: in every mplayer-based player, I can rotate a line of text (\frz-90) and keep the single characters' standard orientation (with the "@fontname" method). The same method doesn't work in Avidemux, i.e. the line AND the fonts are rotated, as you can see in the two captures. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Avidemux, in the Subtitles filter, or if I'm doing something wrong. Any clue?
