I tried to run with this, and I don't see any such infloop. I see the
GC results displayed in the echo-area once in a while.
I guess some other customizations cause this, or maybe some special
circumstances with different fonts you use. Customizations that
affect the echo-area display and resizing are of main interest. If
you can try to reproduce this in "emacs -Q", with only the
post-gc-hook defined and as little of your other customizations as
possible, it could help.

No, this is normal: Emacs enters one level of recursive-edit when it
starts.
