Where online might I purchase a DVD of Let the Right One In with the corrected subtitles?
The original release of Let the Right One In onto DVD had "dumbed-down" English subtitles. After a great hoppitamoppita from various bloggers, Magnolia stated that they would be putting out another version of the DVD with corrected subtitles. The case itself should mention "English (Theatrical)" for the subtitles, rather than just "English."
I saw posts saying that Target was selling them. I hit three Targets in my area and none of them have the right version.
Neither of the two Best Buy stores I hit have the right version.
I can find no indication as to which version Amazon.com is selling, though numerous user reviews on the site say "Wait, wait!"
As Magnolia has stated they will not be replacing discs with inferior subtitles, I can see that some vendors might have older stock sticking around, especially if consumers are alert to the issue and refuse to buy the earlier release.
As this will probably end up as a gift, I am not going to play the "download the subtitles" game and muck about with that.

Response by poster: I should add that I'm in the United States and must stick to DVDs and Region 1, played on an unhacked player.

If it helps, I saw the movie in the theater, and then later when it originally came out on dvd, and could not tell the difference.

However, I can't speak to the DVD version; regular DVD may be region-locked.
