That's odd. I've never encountered this problem before, and I'm
usually up past midnight. 

I'm looking at planner-stable, and it doesn't seem to save files in
planner.el (except for the bit about killing calendar files, but
that's not going to be triggered unless you browse).

This happens only after you M-x plan, right?

One thing you can do is check the file with M-x diff-buffer-with-file
after midnight to see if you have any crontabs or whatever changing
your file. (Unlikely, but still a possibility.) 

I'd really appreciate it if you could (setq debug-on-quit t), get into
the infinite loop, and hit C-g. If we're lucky, that'll give us a
backtrace and we can find the offending function.

Apologies for the inconvenience!
