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.
