Considering that Lionsgate and Shout! are producing UHD BDs when they lock their Blu-rays, I would say this is a non-issue right now. The UHD format is going to be very niche for the rest of 2016, so I imagine deals can be re-negotiated for these upgrades without too much trouble.
As UHD is an extension of the Blu-ray standard I would expect regional rights to apply in the same way.
The question is imo how this will be enforced not if and I am sure we will find out sooner rather than later.
