The second meaning is probably based on a larger sens of the verb 'to function in a certain way, well or badly', cf. the examples where the verb in this sense is accompanied by an adverb meaning 'badly'. Since the "positive" contexts appear to be more frequent, the adverbs meaning 'well', 'perfectly' etc. were later elided.
