I think this usage is different from the "awful/terrible/crap" of sense 2.

I understand what you are saying, but there are other ways of thinking about this.
I prefer to view やばい, ヤバい and ヤバイ as the same word.
Thus I view やばかない as an inflected form of ヤバイ.
I think you are attaching too much importance to the hiragana/katakana difference.

The point is that ヤバイ usually won't inflect. Having said that, I see ヤバクナイ gets 559 in the n-grams, and while ヤバクナカッタ doesn't score there, it can be seen in 2ch posts and Tweets.
