Subtitles with AudioDescribed

I'm trying to download audiodescribed versions, plus the subtitle files.
This is the command line entry to create the PVR setting:
get_iplayer --pvr-add="demo1" --search="merlin" --version=audiodescribed
--subtitles --get
When I run the PVR, the subtitles setting is ignored. I get the video,
but no SRT file. Presumably the BBC only associates the subtitles with
the default version?
A workaround would to have *two* download sessions, one for the
audiodescribed video files and one for the SRT files of the default
video version. But when I try to create a PVR setting file there's no
entry in the PVR file.
This GiP command...
get_iplayer --pvr-add="demo2" --search="merlin" --subtitles-only --get
...produces this PVR file:
search0 merlin
A workaround of the workaround is to have a DOS BAT file for the
subtitles like this:
--get_iplayer --search="merlin" --subtitles-only --get
... and it works, but it seems a rather clunky method. Plus it also gets
the subtitles for any searched-for programmes which exist as
non-audiodescribed as well as described ones.
So,
1) Can GiP be made to interpret instructions so that when it finds a
--subtitles tag *and* a --version=audiodescribed tag, it gets the
subtitles from any *other* version which has them?
2) Can the --subtitles-only tag be made available as a PVR setting?
