I don't see the difference between this usage and Zack's/Eliezer's: the definition given in the SEP link is:

Moral luck occurs when an agent can be correctly treated as an object of moral judgment despite the fact that a significant aspect of what she is assessed for depends on factors beyond her control.

A situation where all of an agent's options are blameworthy seems quite clearly to fall within this category.
