We wouldn't remove an entry which is in Daijisen unless it was found nowhere in use. This just makes it.
I doubt 進退維谷 is worth an entry.

  Comments:
This entry seems absurdly rare, but in daijs, so feel free to discard this suggestion with little/no remarks. (I will understand the meaning :)

Instead of an xref, would it be possible to just *add* 進退これ谷まる and 進退維谷まる as [sK] in 進退窮まる?  They are entered as exact synonyms anyway.  Then if you search for this term you'll get the right answer, at least. No one is going to learn this form from this dictionary and then try to apply it. (or, at least they shouldn't).  

Then, if desired, we could [sK] the 谷まる forms without leaving an inconsistency.  (or leave them [rK], which I am still fine with).

(Also, note: There is a far-more popular 4-character compound which we don't carry, same kanji, same meaning: しんたいいこく【進退維谷】.  It's *extremely* common-looking in Chinese news sources, but not actually so much in Japanese, so I haven't made an effort to add it.  Appears in 四字熟語辞典)
