I'm sorry, but Sigil informed you of no such thing. If you have Sigil configured to Mend Code on Open, it would have informed you of the well-formed issue and offered to automatically fix it for you. Answer "Yes," and it would have turned your /subtitles into /p's. Bada-bing. Answer "No," and Sigil will still open the epub and you would have been able to run the "Well-Formed" check (F7) and it would have informed you exactly where the problem was.

If you don't have the "Mend Code on Open" checked, it would have opened the epub, showed you a warning about the well-formed issue, and you would have been able to run the "Well-Formed" check (F7) and it would have informed you exactly where the problem was.

Well-formed errors will, quite simply, NOT stop Sigil from opening an epub. Ever. You're exaggerating. Like the calibre editor more all you want, but please don't come here and stretch the truth about problems you're having with Sigil.
I run Sigil with pretty/mend OFF on load

A 'Well formed' error DOES break the books paths (When Sigil stuffs Images, Styles). The links are NOT updated in the book, resulting in many broken images and no stylesheets and possible MASSIVE loss if you run a clean unused against the book
