You're not alone, it's just that nobody has had the stamina to
pinpoint how exactly this happens. An even more drastic version is in
glm.fit:

    ##-------------- end IRLS iteration -------------------------------
    for (iter in 1:control$maxit) {
        mu.eta.val <- mu.eta(eta)
        .. IRLS iteration! ..
