Do you have another example besides the assault of corpses? I can easily see real moral repugnance from the effect it has on the offenders, who are victims of their own actions. If you find it unpleasant only when you see it, would not they find it horrific when they perform it?
Also in these situations, repugnance can leak due to uncertainty of other real moral outcomes, such as the (however small) likelihood of family members of the deceased learning of the activity, for whom these corpses have real moral value.
Seeing humans perform certain kinds of body modifications would also be deeply unpleasant to me, but it’s also not an act I assign moral valence to (I think people should be allowed to modify their bodies more or less arbitrarily).
