"Doesn't work" does not tell us much. Do you get error message(s) when you you try to open/close a subshell? If so what are they. If not, tell us what happens (or does not happen) when you try to open/close a subshell.

Ok, pressing Ctl+O shows the background, but I can't execute any shell commands, I return to two panels mode when pressing any key. In a clean FreeBSD 9.2 (just installed + Bash + mc-light) subshell works well, but not in FreeBSD 10.

This always worked for me, have you tried to reinstall using portmaster misc/mc?
 
Re: mc-light subshell doesn't work in FreeBSD 10

Just now. No effect. But I use mc-light, not mc.

In an mc subshell it works well, in mc-light - not.

I've created a VM and am in the process of building shells/bash and misc/mc-light. I will report back with the results.

I have the same issue with my installation of misc/mc-light built with the SUBSHELL option. When the subshell "panel" is displayed, pressing any key returns to the main (two-panel) display. Sorry I don't have better news to report. This option appears to be broken.
 
Re: mc-light subshell doesn't work in FreeBSD 10

I don't know, if it is related, but I have seen a similar behavior with the standard misc/mc over the SSH connections, which was dependent on the terminal emulation settings. Too long ago to recall more than the words "dumb terminal" was part of the problem.
