Converting Moses doesn't negate his ability if it was already active. The quoted portion of the REG means that the ability won't activate at a time it would normally activate.

No, he doesn't. When he converts back to a Hero his ability works again the next time he enters battle.

Is that because it was a temporary conversion, or is that how converting twice works?  I thought I'd read somewhere that EC to Hero to EC resulted in an EC with no SA, but could be mistaken or it could be an old ruling.

I believe that's how it's worked for as long as we've had the rule that Hero abilities do not convert to Evil Characters. The ability remains, it just doesn't activate when the conversion is from Hero > Evil Character. The rules of converting from Evil Character > Hero will still apply if it's converted a second time (back to a Hero) so there might be instances where it doesn't convert.

Special abilities on Evil Characters (and evil weapons) that have been converted to Heroes (and good weapons)
may activate, except for special abilities that specifically target Heroes when the card is at face value.

I know in the past the characters were considered to have a special ability but that it is unable to activate if it doesn't meet the converting requirements (for purposes of things like Windows of Narrow Light that check for special abilities) so I could see the argument that a Hero converted to an EC and then to a Hero again has their special ability work again (if it meets the EC conversion requirements) but I can also see the argument for it not.

I don't think it's that simple, because the rules for EC>Hero conversion then say that certain abilities convert and others don't and that could very easily override whatever the current status of the Hero-converted-to-an-EC is.
