It rarely is... People just throw in subtitled footage because they can't get ahold of raw or dubbed footage... It is distracting and makes most videos unwatchable for me... I'm not the only one. It's actually a rule for AMV submissions to a lot of contests that you can't use subtitled footage.
The only exception I can see is where the song itself is translated in subtitles, like the Ranma AMV set to the Baka song (from ranma.)
