At the time MTA:VC was not installed in the same directory, and no, they don't conflict at all because MTA:VC doesn't touch VC's original files at all.
As for mods, none. I can already confirm it's the same issue SA:MP had a few versions back. They share the same, original codebase, so it's the same exact bug rearing it's ugly head again. The only true fix is an update to VC:MP itself.
