...I saw considerable regret in Elrond's face when he retold that story.

Elves are weak.

BUT, was Elrond already a ring-bearer at that point in the story?

Elrond would have had to be a ring-bearer by then since the One Ring was made for the explicit purpose of controlling the other rings.

Elrond wasn't the original ringbearer of the ring he bears. ;-)
