Sounds like you nailed it. This has been discussed before, and the official response on the Yahoo Group was:

infinitely redirected randomly (therefore reactivating the curse and
restarting the cycle), the *effect* of the curse is passed on to the

while everyone *but* the MH wearer lose 1. And the guy wearing the MH,
kick his a$$, won't you. . . :-)

SJ and I favor thought #2.
This is a bit different than the specific example that Erik gave, but close enough.
