Yes indeed, I have seen this infinite loop of "ERROR: encountered xxxx 
but expected yyyy" messages.

I think that one is more likely to see this (and probably other 
problems) in the presence of a noisy environment

My guess would be that this is related to the theory that some of us 
have: that some devices are not throwing away messages with bad CRCs so 
these bad messages are making it to other devices, which then propagate 
the bad messages (probably after putting in a good CRCs). I don't have 
tools to prove this, though, so it's all speculation at this point.
