This isn't exactly what you want, but I'm using kintr and building and
saving my figures in the their own "chunks" then just inlining the
path to the generated figure in the \subloat{..}. Things are working
fine, eg. my default settings are to suppress chunk echo/output,
generate pdf figures, and fig.path='figs/gen-' so:

<<someFig>>
plot(1:10, 1:10, ...)
@

\begin{figure}[...]
...
  \sublfoat[some][caption]{
    \includegraphics[...]{figs/gen-someFig.pdf}
  }
...
\end{figure}

does the trick for me.

HTH,
