How about you post the prefix in question that you see looping and then
others can maybe look deeper into it.
Did you also check to see that its legitimate in various looking glasses
and e.g. do you see the same in ripe probes or similar?
There are definitely cases where loops can/do happen beyond being
transient. Router software bugs ("stuck bgp routes" / "timing race
conditions on programming hardware") can/do/have happened, but are less
common these days.
But if its your prefix that you control, you can probably resolve it either
by withdraw/re-announce of it, changing a transitive attribute that forces
a refresh of it, possibly doing so via announcing either a more-specific or
less-specific to backstop it.
