Johan,
I ran into exactly this problem a few months ago when I decided to convert a
rather large document from book(KOMA-script) to memoir, to take advantage of
some of the neat features in memoir.
My solution (after trying various mechanisms to get subfigures to work) was to
replace the figures containing subfigures with a single figure float, putting
more than one image in one float. The only disadvantage I found is the lack
of separate captions, which I overcame by using phrases such as "on the left"
in the single caption referring to multiple images.
