The problem is that:

Current shunt handling cannot deal with this, as the second keyingtries 
sometimes tries to install a second shunt, which sometimes “works” due to not 
being widened. This is causing customer issues that at resolved by setting it 
to 0.

It is also unclear which if any shunt should be installed during keyingtries > 1

Also, if your mesh is symmetric, it doesn’t actually help to try infinitely 
against a host that doesn’t have it. If that host gains it, the first plaintext 
will trigger that host to do OE, so there isn’t a delay in not having 
keyingtries=0 - you gain nothing from the infinite attempts.
