Hi David,
you cannot reasonably expect that org-mode functions should work
in other modes. And you cannot expect these functions to check
the mode all the time.
I don't know what you are up to here. But maybe the function
`org-run-as-in-org-mode' offers a way out?
I stumpled on this infinite loop by accident and simply avoid it by
make my function refuse to work on a buffer not in org-mode.
That is exactly the right course of action.
However, I decided it worth a bugreport as I didn't know the reason
for this and assumed org-mode may enter this loop by itself if the
right conditions are met.
No, this variable (see below) is always set in Org buffers.
After debugging the loop it turns out that the loop occurs in
`org-insert-property-drawer' because `org-keyword-time-regexp' is
buffer local only (calculated when entering org-mode) and defaults to
nil, so when `org-insert-property-drawer' tries to skip SCHEDULED,
DEADLINE etc. lines it tries this by while-re-search-forwarding[1]
with the regexp "^[ \t]*" -- that is what throws Emacs in this loop
(for whatever reason -- I hope I am going to find out).
So the question is: Is it in anyway possible that
`org-keyword-time-regexp' is (re-set to) nil in regular orgmode
operation?
I could do that, but just the same I would have to do that for
many different other variables which only work inside org-mode.

As far as I could see: No, so it should not effect the normal
operations of org-mode.

[1] i.e.: (while (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*")) causes Emacs to
loop. That means "not beeing in orgmode" not even a sine qua non for
this loop.
