Loading the testcase makes Firefox crash due to too much recursion:

FWIW the patch in bug 472135 would fix this too, although I suppose this patch is neater and more efficient.

I think we should just rely on 472135 to fix this. I don't think we should add code to speed up incorrect markup.
Depends on: 472135
I tried to rewrite this along the marker/filter approach and it just doesn't hang together. Unlike markers and filters, text locations are cached and we update them only when necessary via NotifyGlyphMetrics change.

If I move to async painting then there is nothing to trigger UpdateEffects in the first place as the property is not referenced during painting, only when the text metrics i.e. the glyph locations change.

So after much thought I still think the original patch is the right thing to do. You can't get reference loops in text unless you fail to check the referenced frame type as referenced frame must point to a path and a path can't contain text (or anything else for that matter).

The test should be checked in as a crashtest, but I forgot to do that.
