There are two types of evil weather, rains and clouds. They need to be disabled separately - disabling only rain as you say you did leaves the evil clouds.

No it doesn't. The save here is made in the middle of rain of blood despite the [EVIL_RAIN_NUMBER:0]. It probably doesn't have syndrome attached but qualifies as freakish weather and cannot be turned off with d_init.txt settings.

The raws here are modified with modest mod and tileset but those don't add any new interactions.

Blood rain does not count towards the evil rain total. The evil rains are randomly-generated materials with attached syndromes. That is almost certainly by design.

Yeah, this is working as expected, though suggestions for how to improve world gen are always welcome. The parameter is to set the number of random materials used as evil rain, and blood is a difference hard-coded chance.
