May be this was the regexp intended:
(defvar vc-hostname-fs-path-re "\\`\\([\\/][\\/]\\)\\|/net/\\|/afs/")

This works for me (tested for UNC only). I made a change to the patch to
use the variable "vc-hostname-fs-path-re" and added the defvar in my
.emacs (this can be moved into the lower level elisp code). Maybe, we
can allow this to be customized by advanced users (defcustom).
