I believe the answer to this is found in the REG under Negate > Special Conditions - "A negate effect cannot negate itself, directly or indirectly."That rule was instituted to prevent loops. It was probably never realized that interrupt can also create loops (or it was believe to be addressed by the negate entry). Either way it would be good to add a similar entry to the Interrupt > Special Conditions.

Redirect has caused more confusion than any other ability I know. Either ban it altogether (which is not likely) or make it an option to redirect or prevented the ability, that way, if there’s no clear target or understanding of how the redirect would work (such as in the scenario presented above) it can simply be prevented. And if it’s a clear target, such as “Discard a hero,” the redirect could easily work with no ambiguity.

The original redirect cards (Counsel of Abigail and Treachery of Jezebel) suffer from some outdated wording/understanding of redirect but otherwise redirect typically doesn't create problems...
I apologize, I thought my previous reply was adequate answer to make the answer clear.When you redirect the "negate last" you get to choose new targets, but there is only one "last", that being your redirect. That means the redirect would indirectly negate itself (which isn't possible). This leaves the redirect and negate applying to the evil side and the "discard a Hero" back to a resolving state. Because the original interrupt/negate from SI was undone the rescuer has SI again.
