Ulrich/Geier (seemingly) infinite loop

I'll try to explain this, but it's a pretty specific scenario.

1) Had both Vildin-Pack Alpha (transformed Geier Reach Bandit) and Ulrich, Contested Alpha (transformed Ulrich of the Krallenhorde) in play.
2) On the opponent's turn, they cascaded into a full hand's worth of mana and played the following cards, in order:
  • Hulking Devil
  • Volcanic Rambler
  • Turn Against
  • Rush of Adrenaline
  • Devil's Playground (spawned nothing due to creature count)
  • Malevolent Whispers

Note that the bolded spells were cast on my creatures, causing them to be on the opponent's board.
3) Turn progresses as expected - her creatures don't do anything due to summoning sickness, and then my creatures attacked me.
4) Geier returns to my side followed by Ulrich. I don't know if anything happened between this and the next part, as I wasn't paying the closest of attention...
5) Geier buffs Ulrich. The buff falls off. Geier buffs Ulrich again. The buff falls off. Geier buffs Ulrich again ...
6) This continued for 5 minutes, when I decided to just quit out of the match.

I know it's a pretty specific scenario, but I am disappointed that another expensive card is bugged. Unfortunately, this particular one cost me a match.

No video, and the screenshots hit and miss, so this is what I have available of the loop itself. I didn't screenshot the two control swaps because I didn't think any weirdness was going to follow:
