I feel you might be better to see these as interpretations according to context. To me they mostly carry similar connotations that something can happen dependent on other factors, even statements such as "The contract is subject to six months' notice on both sides" and "This offer is subject to confirmation".
The exception I would make is that a statement like "I am subject to anger" contains the implication that "anger rules me".
