Since these are the standard udev helpers that are called for all block
devices, and other people aren't reporting issues with change event
storms when running them, I think this is very likely to be a bug in the
kernel driver for this device rather than a bug in udev, yes.
Reassigning to the kernel.  Andy, do you think you can take a look at
this?

Title:
  udev occasionally goes into infinite loop

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a few of my machines, udev occasionally goes into strange infinite
  loops.  This is a report of one such case (no idea if they're all
  related, as this one seems specific to this hardware).  Attaching
  strace and udevadm log of looping pain.
