I'm not seeing more than two senses here. It's just that sense 1 doesn't translate neatly into English.

I think there's possibly a discussion needed on the POS tagging of 形容動詞 such as this one. The JEs are unanimous about it being an adjective. The 国語s say things like "名 ・形動" (Daijirin). The ngrams show scant evidence of it being a noun (handful of は, が cases). 
I'm comfortable with "[adj-na,n]" and glossing it as an adjective. At least it's showing we are acknowledging whats in the 国語s.
