My assumption is that this would not work either (but I can't test it).
The directive has to match an exact or parent directory.  You can't
"cd .."  from a UNC path and ever reach anything called "/" or "\".

You'll probably have to put in a directive for the UNC mount point.

I don't see this topic mentioned in the AG or a tech bulletin.
