Do you still have the log file?

I got similar results with SVCD2DVD and DVDAuthorGui if I only have the .sup file. Which leads me to believe the .ifo file has some color conversion or other information that's needed.
edit: FAVC only supports .srt files, but I looked through the produced scripts and batch files. I calls SubtitleCreator and uses both the output .ifo and .sup files in the muxing. The .ifo must be there for a reason.
edit2: in case anyone else is using BDSup2Sub.. you can export the palette in text format for PgcEdit. After DVD created you can load in PgcEdit, then load the palette. That will give you an idea how the original colors were. You can still then change white subs to yellow or whatever if you want. It just helps avoid guessing which color in the CLUT goes to which part of the subtitle.
It is pretty fast to make the change. I'm just kind of curious why so many authoring programs seem to ignore the .ifo component or what the issue is.

Again, sup format already contains the subs graphical info, while srt format does not (just text and timestamps). That's the reason because FAVC (and AVStoDVD) uses an external ifo file for palette info.
I do not know how DVDSubEdit (or other sw) manage sup files, maybe they do a sort of reconversion using the ifo graphical info.
Anyway BatchMux (MuxMan wrapper used by AVStoDVD) accepts only sup (or sst) files... thus sup remuxing with another ifo is up to you. Or if you want to automate the process, we could add it as new AVStoDVD feat.
