Maybe Uwe has to discover by oneself what function of Gnus starts
VM.  If what is started is the Lisp command `vm', one way is to
provide the dummy function named `vm' like the following:

(defun vm (&rest args)
  (interactive)
  (error "VM started!"))

Evaluate this form by typing `C-x C-e' at the end of the last
line.  Type `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET' to turn it on.  Run
`gnus-dired-attach'.  And you will see the function that calls
this version of `vm'.  The backtrace may expose the real cause
in that single shot.  Otherwise, what you want to do next will
be to run edebug on the function in question (that calls `vm').
Note that the command that starts VM may not be just `vm' but
`vm-something-something'.  Good luck.
