I think I've found the problem. I was using an element to create a
site-wide menu. In that element, a call was made to an action that was
not on the allow list. However, since it occurs on every page,
including /users/login, any attempt to call it resulted in a redirect
to /users/login. This resulted in the infinite loop. The culprit code
follows:
$menus = $this->requestAction('menus/getMenus/header');
The solution was to add the action "getMenus" to the allow. This
corrected the problem. The solution code follows:
$this->Auth->allow('getMenus');
