<upd_detl>English wikipedia, daijs, and sankoku (amazing...) all give sense [2] explicitly.  Must be a bit of romanticized imagery to have such a high ngram count... (the action itself doesn't seem to have actually been so prevalent).

sankoku says 自さ, common n-grams suru usage is passive. I guess 辻斬り is just the act of testing the sword, and doesn't actually take an object.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>daijs:
昔、武士が刀剣の切れ味や自分の腕を試すために、往来で通行人を斬ったこと。また、それを行う者。特に江戸初期には禁令が出るほど横行した。

<upd_detl>We usually include the "その人" meaning in the same sense if there are only a couple of glosses.
The passive usage indicates that it's transitive.</upd_detl>
