Damn right he feels bad about it.  And so he should.  The memory of
it should remind him during OOTP that he should perhaps be a little
less dogmatic in his convictions about people because his own
judgement was something less than, shall we say, stellar.

But his comments about Regulus in OOTP indicate that this might be
another person he misjudged - especially since it looks pretty clear
that Regulus is RAB.

I don't doubt that Sirius was sincere in all his actions.  So what? 
Lucius Malfoy is a sincere bigot.  Sincerity can be overrated.
