The NormalizerFormatter tries to normalise the GLOBALS variable which is passed in the context array in the ErrorHandler.

Normalising the GLOBALS variable ends in a recursion as the array contains an element "GLOBALS" referring to itself.

Example output of var_dump($GLOBALS) (which correctly handles recursion):

array(8) {
  ["_GET"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["_POST"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["_COOKIE"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["_FILES"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
...
  ["GLOBALS"]=>
  *RECURSION*
}

Of course, this also affects passing other context variables containing recursive references. But using the ErrorHandler, this always seems to be a problem.
