Hi Geoff, 
Congrats, you found a bug, and hunted it down.
Careful now, you could end up as a beta tester ;-)

What the EDP is doing there is just running through the entire memory,
so the results can be pretty good if you've been playing long enough to
fill the available space.
During the beta-test phase of loop4 that behavior was often the result of 
a 
bug,
though we found and fixed a whole load it's not a shock that you found a 
way 
in.

To play through large chunks of "loop history" like that by
"loop windowing", which isn't a bug, you can do a nice long multiply and 
then
hit Undo afterwards.

My guess is that this doesn't happen every time you
do that button sequence, is that right?

Also, I assume you're using 

49   ReverseButton
