Of those 3 cases, I think the first case should not be supported. C-v x = from a file buffer should only apply to that file. The third should of course be supported and the one I expect people to use. The second doesn't matter: if it works, it's harmless and if it doesn't it's not serious either because the user could have used vc-dired instead. But it should only work if the corresponding dir is under some kind of version control, of course. I agree completely.
