Not getting a backtrace, or ERT not noticing that there was an error is
"normal": which errors are detected and which aren't is subtly different
and it's hard to argue that the old way was better (it has upsides and
downsides).

But inf-looping definitely counts as a bug in my book (since the
`with-timeout` should rule it out) and I don't have an explanation for it.
Any help debugging it would be welcome.
