I just tried this exact scenario before I received your email. It produced an infinite loop just as you predicted.
What the documentation generally describes, I believe, is a safe set of guidelines to follow when subclasses override *designated* initializers. That was not the case in the Hillegass case, which is why that pattern was safe in the given scenario.
