Sorry, but he does, or at least tries to <g>.

Here's the part from GoF:

**********
 Ron opened his mouth uncertainly. Harry knew Ron was about
to apologize and suddenly he found he didn't need to hear it.

    "It's okay," he said, before Ron could get the words out. "Forget
it."

    "No," said Ron, "I shouldn't've -"

    "Forget it, "Harry said.
**********

>  or paying off a debt with vanishing gold;

He doesn't say: "I apologize."
But he does say this:
******
 "I didn't know leprechaun gold vanishes," Ron muttered. "I
thought I was paying you back. You shouldn't've given me that
Chudley Cannon hat for Christmas.

**********

I'd see that as meaning he's sorry, though apologizing
certainly doesn't seem to come easy to most people, may they
be a wizard/witch or a Muggle ;)
