Replace the following:

It hasn't already been destroyed; it's in the process of being
destroyed. So that doesn't work. But why is that line necessary at all?

Because it's a list of things that happen "when an insta-rule is destroyed"; if that list includes destroying the insta-rule, then it'll recursively call itself indefinitely.
