Is this to be considered an exp? It is surely some kind of compound word, but not immediately understandable from the single entries. 
We already have 恐悦至極, and even though 恐縮至極 has half of the hits, it is considered its synonym and it is an expression people can come though in 時代劇 or very formal letters.
