I don't have a problem so i can't trackeroute, but a user has reported:
Kabel Deutschland, (traceroute wikimedia.org via muntiple dynip.superkabel.de to ip4.tinet.net)
I experienced this issue just now as well on meta. FF30, using Vector.
My urls looked like https://bits.wikimedia.org/meta.wikimedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.inspect%7Cschema.DeprecatedUsage&skin=vector&version=20140701T181452Z&*:2 and https://bits.wikimedia.org/meta.wikimedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki%2CSpinner%7Cjquery.triggerQueueCallback%2CloadingSpinner%2CmwEmbedUtil%7Cmw.MwEmbedSupport&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=20140701T181452Z:6
After hitting continue about 5 times (my browser locked up in between) I hit "Stop script" and gave up.
I haven't run into anything like this in browsing enwp or mw.o, but those are both in MonoBook.

I ran into this on mediawiki.org, using the MonoBook skin. Bug 67404 says it happens on Modern. I didn't mention it earlier, but I'm using OSX.
This is only occurring on non-Wikipedias, leading me to guess it's something that was deployed in 1.24wmf11.
Reedy: This is potentially a blocker for Wikipedias deploy today. I'll let you decide on course of action since I'll be out.
I also experienced this exactly once now on Commons on a File: page, Firefox 30 on Fedora 20, Vector skin, being logged in.
Had this several times in last days on mw.org, but only on FF 17 behind a company proxy, so i thought it wasn't a problem with MediaWiki/Wikimedia. Unhappily i can't do a traceroute here :/

With no solid evidence to back this up, I have a hunch that the
immediate cause is cde08292 "Add json2.js polyfill (v2014-02-04; with
module skip function)" and the underlying cause is the newly
introduced skip function support in ResourceLoader.
Circumstantial evidence:
It would be very helpful if someone who can reproduce this on local
installation could try reverting cde08292 and checking if that fixes
the issue. (I am unable to reproduce even on WMF wikis :( )
Change 143880 had a related patch set uploaded by Krinkle:
Revert addition of json2.js
JSON2 is only loaded in old browses. And just in case the feature test wasn't passing, I confirmed just now in Chrome 35 and Firefox 29 and 30 that when "loading" the json module, JSON.stringify and JSON.parse are not redefined and nothing is fetched or executed from that module.
Also to clarify, the usage in mw.inspect also had no impact because it's the reference to $.toJSON is a direct pointer to JSON.stringify. Nothing changed in this regard for modern browsers from what I can tell.
(Re the revert patch that was already proposed, if we want to revert at all, it should be sufficient to remove the (two) uses in core to resolve the immediate issue, if that in fact resolves this at all.)
Change 143894 had a related patch set uploaded by Jforrester:
Use 'json' module instead of deprecated 'jquery.json'

Change 143896 had a related patch set uploaded by Jforrester:
Update EventLogging to pull in rEEVL1e9adcfc5102
Change 143880 abandoned by Bartosz Dziewoński:
Revert addition of json2.js
Reason:
Turns out I was mostly wrong. While doing this would probably fix the issue, I just accidentally happened to pinpoint the right commit (I had one chance in four after all). See comment 19 on the bug.

Depreceation loop? See

Yes, that does seem to be the case. I filed bug 67481 to request safeguards be added to the deprecation logger so this doesn't happen again next time.
(In reply to Andre Klapper from comment #1)
Can't reproduce with Firefox 30 or Chrome 35.
Your random number generator simply didn't produce a number < 0.01
Apart from bug 67481, what is WMF's strategy to avoid a bug like this [not reproducible by design, affected a large number of users though] in future?
This should now be fixed. Sorry for the disruption. Will recommend that an incident report is written up.
