Once a behavior has been socially locked in as "virtuous", then doesn't it create an incentive for individuals to signal that virtue?

Not necessarily, no. Why would it?
Maybe because it's perceived as noble thing to do so people would signal that to others as benefit to themselves - to get higher status in a group.
Maybe depends on how dumb the others are -- the easier to fool, the more effective virtue signaling would be?
And, like @Scarblac wrote, sometimes it's a bad idea -- if the others see through it?
