Which backend do you use?  RCS?  If so, perhaps Adrian can help out - I don't 
think I've ever used it.

my-vc-status-insert is not part of vc nor do I know what it's supposed to do, 
perhaps it's your local addition (in ~/.xemacs/init.el?) and needs to be 
adapted to the new vc?

vc-status is gone in the new vc indeed, too bad seemingly without a direct 
replacement.  Perhaps replacing

    (vc-status file)

with

    (vc-call mode-line-string file)

could help somewhat or at least point you at the right direction?
