Wouldn't it be simpler and more reliable to change

(when (file-readable-p (expand-file-name ".svn" FILE))
   ;; refer to (expand-file-name ".svn" FILE) here
   ...)

to

(let (svn-file)
   (cond ((file-readable-p (setq svn-file (expand-file-name ".svn" FILE))))
	((file-readable-p (setq svn-file (expand-file-name "_svn" FILE))))
	(t (setq svn-file nil)))
   (when svn-file
     ;; refer to svn-file here
     ...))

and similarly for the file-directory-p and vc-insert-file calls?
