Not when it is checked out, no. That's what "checked out" means ;)

If a subproject is bare, it never gets resolved, because it's never 
checked out in a superproject.

So a subproject *can* be bare, but when it's bare it is just a totally 
regular independent git project, simply by *definition* of not being 
checked out inside a superproject.

But hey, that was just a design decision of mine, and if people can argue 
for it being wrong, I don't think I'm married to it ;)
