I am afraid something is very wrong with C-C TB xpcshell test including this
"too much recursion" error(s) that caused many lines printed afterward.
My usual local xpcshell test log is usually about 40MB running DEBUG version of C-C TB.
But my local run of xpcshell test for the first time in about 9 days produced 258MB log file,
more than six times the usual size.
But I think "too much recursion" contributes to the log bloat only marginally, though.
Problematic log lines:

20:44.93 pid:551830 JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/ConsoleAPIStorage.sys.mjs, line 174: InternalError: too much recursion
20:44.93 pid:551830 [Parent 551830, Main Thread] WARNING: Failed to record a console event.: file /NEW-SSD/NREF-COMM-CENTRAL/mozilla/dom/console/Console.cpp:1550

This error seems to cause error logging to console inoperable. Well, I hope this will be solved quickly.

Oops, I realize this entry is about "too much recursion" with idlharness and has nothing to do with ConsoleAPIStorage.sys.mjs.
I think I will file a separate bugzilla if it is not filed yet.
Sorry for the noise.
