I do not think the OP meant by "a working tree subdirectory" using the command in a secondary worktree. SUBDIRECTORY_OK is about "can the command be started in a subdirectory (as opposed to requiring to be run only at the toplevel)?"
I am slightly negative on this change, though. The subdirectory you are sitting in when you start your bisection may disappear and reappear as you dig the history, and I do not think the code makes anything special to prevent the disappearing current directory from getting in the way of bisection process.
