Before disincentivizing, you face the problem of defining and recognizing moral sabotage. It doesn't sound trivial to me. Remember, groups don't admit to using the outrage tactic; they do it sincerely, sometimes over several generations of members. I repeat the question: how does a rationalist tell "warranted" emotional disutility from "unwarranted" in a fair way?
Incentive effects are hugely important, but a utilitarian decision process that causes predictable harm is not a true utilitarian decision process. Your question is a tough one, but it's answerable in principle.
