I think this is likely related to USB cables as power cables and USB ports/voltages.

I have seen a lamp completely fry a MacBook. I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar cause a boot loop.

Semi-related note.. displayport cables can cause a no-boot condition too. I think it was the existence of Pin#1. I had to duct tape that one pin and my computer finally booted up.
