Yes, I understand why Rule 2 doesn't fire when the attribute is

Just to jump in here, let me say this: I have no idea. :)
Now a suggestion...
This is one reason I like to primarily rely on the rule conditions to control activation.
i.e. rules look like this:
when
A, B, and C
but not D [D is performed in rule action]
then
do D
end
It's self documenting, though does require more maintenance, as you may have to change
the rule condition whenever you change the rule action.
The tools drools provides for activation control are general purpose, and as such are
necessarily the sledgehammer approach. :) Nothing wrong with that per se, I just prefer
the a more fine grained approach, and the extra control that provides.
