Well, in a non-hostile environment, the packet will not be dropped as it is sent via a loopback, hence the loop is not endless. "my memcg kicks in for some unknown reason" is pretty much a hostile environment, for which we should not consider. The counter argument is simply not to run selftests in such a hostile environment. Thanks.
