 There are all kinds of issues open that deal with redirect loops and their
 patches try to resolve the symptom.

 I propose to instead fix the root cause by checking in
 wp_redirect/wp_safe_redirect if the $location is equal to the current
 host/request uri and if that's the case to not execute the redirect but
 wp_die - just like it's done in those function if response code is not in
 the 3xx range.

 If a rogue plugin causes this, this will at least give you a hint of what
 was happening/where to start, when your WP page suddenly starts to reload
 indefinitely.
