Where did you read this?  I see no mention of it in the release notes.

I did a search of open bugs and found nothing that appeared to match
this problem, perhaps it is a new bug in exchange we need to work
around, or something that exposes more bugs evolution's imap
implementation.

As a start, I would suggest opening a bug on bugzilla.ximian.com and
including the output of running:

CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution-mail

in a terminal before starting evolution (and then run evolution). 
(check the log for certain sensitive data), if its looping there should
be something reasonbly obvious that is causing it to loop.
