I'd say it depends on the type of VPN, and I don't know enough about them to help you further down that path. Suffice to say that if you can do a "net view" against the server, then SSPI can connect and be authenticated. SSPI asks Windows to handle the authentication, so as long as Win can work out some method it'll work. Another possibility is if you've established a session with that server through some file share or similar. If you're communicating with the server with a method that requires authentication (with some exceptions) then you already have your credentials established and that's probably what SSPI is using. I'm curious as to the outcome. If there is a bug I certainly want to know about it. Please keep us informed.
