Ok, to get the behaviour I want, I could remove the 'TODO' keyword
from the subproject. 

That will allow me to work on the subitems in parallel.  Obvious
disadvantage is that the subproject as such can only have a
'count' or 'percentage' but not a 'state' and thus cannot be tracked
anymore.

Any other suggestions for a way to work on subitems in parallel with the
'main tasks'?  I'll spent some time digging if the wanted
behaviour could be formulated as an option to set without disturbing
the default behaviour.
