yes, it sounds like you are creating a midi infinite-loop. Why do you need
to connect to the midi-out of the EDP? is that for powering the pocket
pedal by sucking power off the midi interface?
It sounds like the pocket pedal just sends everything at the midi in
directly to the out, so connecting it to both the midi in and midi out of
the same device definitely risks this sort of infinite-loop problem.

no, when midi is on it is on for both in and out, so you can't break the
loop that way.

yes, that is simple, and probably your best solution. You should only be
cutting one line off the cable, the one that carries the data out. The pin
with +5V and the pin with ground you want to be sure to keep. I'm not sure
how you are numbering the pins, but anyway, looking into the end of the
cable, the pins are:
____________
/ \
/ \
| (NC) (NC) |
\ (5V) (dat) /
\____(GND)____/
cut off the data pin and I think it would work to supply power only.
