I was thinking more of option 1, but I should have considered the tent scene, too. Or even the Stiller, Wilson chase scene. I guess the first one was just so shocking because up until that point the movie was quirky enough, and Luke Wilson's character held back his depression so much that you don't really see it coming. It hits me like a ton of bricks every time. I think that what really gets me about it is how he is staring into the mirror, says "Tomorrow, I'm going to kill myself," and without missing a beat doesn't wait until tomorrow. Some people would probably view that as an error in the script, or a deleted scene, or any number of things, but it's not not. There are no accidents in a Wes Anderson film.
