Hmmm, planner-id is triggering an infinite loop here.

Could you try

(defun planner-id-update-tasks-on-page (&optional force)
  "Update all tasks on this page.
Completed or cancelled tasks are not updated. This can be added
to `write-file-functions' (CVS Emacs) or `write-file-hooks'.
If FORCE is non-nil, completed and cancelled tasks are also updated."
  (interactive (list current-prefix-arg))
  (with-planner-update-setup
   (goto-char (point-min))
   (while (re-search-forward
           (concat
            (if force
                planner-task-regexp
              planner-live-task-regexp)
            "\\(.*?\\){{Tasks:[0-9]+}}")
           nil t)
     (planner-update-task)
     ;; Force the next line to be considered even if
     ;; planner-multi-update-task kicked in.
     (forward-line 1)))
  nil)

That _should_ prevent each planner-update-task from thrashing the
buffers, although you might still get a loop...

Workaround is to disable planner-id temporarily and use M-x
planner-edit-task-description when you need to change a task...
