Ok, I have managed to reproduce this problem (at least partially) by changing the order of filesystem preferences in /etc/fstab - listing iso9660,udf instead of udf,iso9660, when the image is indeed iso9660.

/home/ubuntu/raring-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt/starcraft iso9660,udf user,loop 0 0

In this case, mountall mounts it, then remounts it twice more, then exits. So the infinite loop may be related to having multiple loopback filesystems in /etc/fstab.
