This PR contains a regression test and two separate fixes: a targeted
fix, and a more general one that's designed as a last-resort guard
against these types of bugs (both bugs in app code and bugs in React).
I confirmed that each of these fixes separately are sufficient to fix
the regression test I added.
We can't realistically detect all infinite update loop scenarios because
they could be async; even a single microtask can foil our attempts to
detect a cycle. But this improves our strategy for detecting the most
common kind.
See commit messages for more details.
