I too have encountered this issue, this is an old issue dating back to 1.8 that occurred when you turned up the render distance above 17, this was supposedly fixed in 1.8.8 and 1.8.9. However it seems that once again it has broken through the keen watch of the Mojang crew, and now it doesn't even need an altering of the settings to start it's endless cycle of chunks loading in infinitely repeating off into the distance. I do hope those who work on the bug fixes figure out how to stop this once and for all
