Syntax for such items is end={separator}{regex}{separator}[offsets].
In your example separator is `\` which really results in something
weird because `\` is *always* an escape character. This has no chances
to work, you need to use `end=/\v^%(\.{3}|\-{3})$/`. (Note: in
very-magic mode (:h /\v) you *must* escape HYPHEN-MINUS because it is
an ASCII character that is not guaranteed not to have special meaning
according to help even though it currently means itself.)

This variant has no chances to work AFAIK because which exactly region
is started is determined when `start` regexp is encountered from
whatever rule *first* happened to match. No global "backtracking" and
trying another region to see whether it fits better.
