Actually the station=subway tag is to distinguish the whole station from
other railbased stations (i.e. there's no relation to
public_transport=stop_position), in legacy tagging you add it to
railway=station. In the newer scheme I think you'd map it as
public_transport=station and subway=yes.
On a side note, the newer scheme can currently not be evaluated by the
carto-osm rendering stack (main map, missing keys in rendering db).

station=subway has clear semantics (it is denoting a subway station), while
subway=yes can be combined with different objects, e.g. platforms, stop
positions, stations etc.

Cheers,
