Apologies for not following this thread (at all).
Just happened to notice this message.

`* u' is already bound to `dired-unmark', in Dired mode.

It would be good if you found some other key for this,
if the mode in question derives from `dired-mode'.

To avoid other possible future problems, please consider
putting all such vc-dired commands on a VC-marking prefix
key, such as `* v'.

E.g., use `* v u' for `vc-dir-mark-unregistered'.  `* v'
is currently undefined for Dired, and that way Dired
sacrifices only `* v', for possible Dired marking commands.

(But personally I think it's better to keep all VC command
bindings on a single keymap, on a single prefix key.  Most
are on prefix key `C-x v', I believe.)
