One way to look at this is that they resist at 14, unless they have a better resistance. That's because the normal resistance to a +2 (and presumably -2) is 10, but you never resist magic at less than 14.
So they resist a -4 at 20, unless they have better resistance.
I'm not sure this is the best answer, but I dislike anything that gives a bonus for resisting a -1 enhancement -- that'd make the default resistance (say) 19, as opposed to the resistance of 5 for a +1. If anything, you'd think the laws of entropy make a -1 EASIER.
