I just read the documentation for ordinary directory mode, and I learned that you can override the standard behavior by using a prefix argument. For example, mark a file, move to a different file, and type `1 D'; emacs will offer to delete the current file instead of the marked one. Maybe vc-dir is similar. I haven't tested it.
