....After that, you subdivide the mesh as many times as you need and start doing your displacment work.

When you're finished, you slide the subdivision level all the way back to the lowest level of subdivision (ie back to your undivided model). At this point you should notice that the basic shape of your mesh has changed. If you output a displacement map now, you'll get one that's designed to work with the new mesh, not the old one. To avoid that you go back to Morph Target in the Tool menu and press the switch button. You'll see the mesh go back to it's original state.

Now you can generate the displacement map (note: don't slide the subdivision back down to 6 or wherever, no matter how intuitive that seems. Keep it at the low res level while you generate the map).
