Sorry, I just realized that you were referring to the template rather than the
layout. 

Yes, it would be a related problem, but a separate issue. 

If 'label_width' is 0, then $self->{'width'} will be 0. 

That means that this condition will be triggered:

if (($string_width + $text_attribs->{'llx'}) > $self->{'width'})

And because $self->{'width'} is 0, then the following condition would never
feasibly be triggered:

if (($string_width + $text_attribs->{'llx'}) < $self->{'width'}) 

And this condition is the only thing that can stop the infinite loop.

Really the line wrapping code looks like it would benefit from a re-write. 

I'd suggest opening a new bug report.
