The attached new version should fix this.
I tested theĀ“is version with official john 1.7.8, 1.7.9-jumbo-5, and
with versions from your git repository prior and after --subformat=LIST
has been deprecated.

For current git (--subformat=LIST disappeared from usage output,
--subformat=FORMAT included in --list=hidden-options), I use the stderr
output from c3_fmt.c, converted to lower case, as possible completions
for --subformat=*.

john --test=0 --format=crypt --subformat=? 2>&1 | \
sed -n 's#,# #g;/^Subformat / s#^[^:]*:\(.*\)$#\L\1# p'

So it should work even after changing c3_fmt.c, provided that the
subformat list in the stderr output matches the list of valid subformats.
