It occurs enough, and is opaque enough that  feel it would be useful for learners.
I can't really agree with the original glosses - they are not great refs and the dictjuggler one is for いかにもわけありげ.

i agree on both accounts.  i don't really get the nikk definition, nor do i think that this means anything more than "seeming 訳あり"

  Comments:
I find Nikk's "外からはうかがい知れぬ事情や理由がありそうなさま。" a bit impenetrable.
I think it's (just) 訳あり + 気/げ, which would be a softer version of 訳あり (sense 1).
