Maybe it's in the epub 3 standard that order is significant for title and subtitle?

Subtitle first:
Code:
<dc:title id="tle">Subtitle</dc:title>
<meta refines="#tle" property="title-type">subtitle</meta>
<dc:title>Main title</dc:title>

Main title first:
Code:
<dc:title>Main title</dc:title> 
<dc:title id="tle">Subtitle</dc:title> 
<meta refines="#tle" property="title-type">subtitle</meta>
I would suspect that calibre is using the first dc:title as the title.
