It's still an expression (申し訳 + ない) so I think you are just extending sense 1.

I've run across this a couple times used more as a plain adjective than as an expression -- 申し訳なさで胃が焼けるような思いだった ; 彼は又申し訳無くて心が痛んだ。-- and at the reference link I found one definition of "feeling or expressing regret or sorrow or a sense of loss over something done or undone".
