You say you have an *update* rule and an *insert* trigger on the
same table.  Is that correct?  Are you doing an INSERT when you
expect the trigger to be called?

It would be easier to help if we could see a complete but minimal
example that demonstates the problem.  That is, the smallest possible
example that somebody could load into an empty database and see the
behavior you're seeing.  Also, what version of PostgreSQL are you
using?

Adding RAISE statements with debugging messages might be preferable
to breaking the code.
