the check that should have avoided that is:

        /*
         * Are we the only task in the tree?
         */
        if (unlikely(rq->load.weight == curr->se.load.weight))
                return;

But I guess that overlooks rt tasks, they also increase the load.
So I guess something like this ought to fix it..
