I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but IMDB has this:
There were originally many very brief "blink and you'll miss them" cutaway shots in this film, intended to create unease in the viewer. For instance: when the priest is dreaming of his mother coming up out of the subway, there is a brief cutaway of a face (Eileen Dietz), painted black and white, grimacing. There are two other places where this image is displayed: when Regan, lying on the bed, turns to look at Father Merrin and Father Karras, and just after the head-turning scene. The same image is later superimposed over scenes later in the film: the first can be seen on the hood of the stove when Chris MacNeil has just returned home from speaking with the doctors and the lights go out in the kitchen; the next image can be seen in the scene directly following the former, on the inside door of Regan's bedroom when Chris MacNeil goes to check on her after realizing that Sharon wasn't present in the house; the first image is the same as the others: the "painted face"; the second image on the door is an image of the statue that Father Merrin sees in the prologue. All of these shots were removed before theatrical release but have been restored for "The Version You've Never Seen".
Maybe the guy heard about the rumors of these images. Or, maybe he wanted to try to make some money off the theater or the filmmakers. These seem to be as close to subliminal as it gets, and they weren't even included in the version the man would have seen. I'll bet he also gets bumped by cars and sues drivers.
I can barely read the type, but "The Exorcist Tribute Zone" site has a section about subliminals:
