Yes.  On the first page of your chapters, the chapter title is
in a text frame that is not connected to the body text frame on
its page.  So the body text, containing the subhead, is processed 
before the title.  The solution is to connect the text frame with 
the title to the body text frame on your First master page.

HTH!
