Hi Ry,
Avant que always takes the subjunctive, whether there is a change in subject or not. Note, that this isn't in contradiction to your rules.

I was taught at school that Avant que takes subjunctive only when there is a change of subject.
This is also confirmed here:
2-Deux sujets identiques+deux actions différentes=avant de+infinitifHowever, it seems that in the examples on this website, Avant que always takes the subjunctive, regardless of whether there is a change in subject.
For example: Avant que je n'aille chez Paula, je dois acheter des fleurs.
(Before I go to Paula's, I have to get some flowers)
