This looks like correct behavior. Indeed, <http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/10FlickrExplorer/Default.html> redirects to <http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/10FlickrExplorer> with an HTML META, which then redirects to <http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/10FlickrExplorer/> with an HTTP header, which redirects back to <http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/10FlickrExplorer>, causing an infinite loop. Unlike a pure HTTP redirect infinite loop, it's not supposed to be detected and stopped.

I'm seeing the same in Firefox. Does this not happen in IE?

The crash seems more of a concern, but given that it doesn't seem to affect nightlies (and I couldn't reproduce it in Safari/WebKit 5.0.2 either), I'm going to close the bug.
