That's a problem that needs fixing.

That's not very surprising: since pre-redisplay-function is run during
redisplay, running redisplay (e.g. to show a backtrace) from within it
would require extra care to try and avoid inf-looping.
Maybe we should re-introduce stack-trace-on-error, or something
equivalent, for those cases.
In the mean time, can you run Emacs within GDB and set a breakpoint on
maybe_call_debugger?
