Of course this is causing an infinite loop as you are redirecting to the same condition. From your last log output (with the 80 port check), it looked like your rule was functioning as the https connection was being assigned to the pool. If you are requesting a page, it could cause many separate connections for different objects on the page which is probably why you are seeing so many connections to the https virtual.

If you add this log information at the beginning of the rule, it should tell you what's going on.

log local0. "Host: [HTTP::host]"
log local0. "uri: [HTTP::uri]"
log local0. "local_port: [TCP::local_port]"

Odds are you are going to see different uri's going to port 443 which is what would be expected. If you are getting into a redirect from the https virtual to https again, then it's not the iRule that's doing it (that is, unless you keep omitting the 80 check on the TCP::local_port).
