Yes, I thought of Mabeuf as possibly the penitent thief too, not that Mabeuf was ever a thief or harmful to others, but he did harm himself through his lack of connection to the rest of humanity, and he did seem to experience a kind of revelation in his last moments, though I'm still not clear on what it was in his case. The juxtaposition is significant I'm sure
