in ExpandoMetaClassCreationHandle line 49 (else clause in createNormalMetaClass(Class,MetaClassRegistry)), there is a call

super.create(theClass, registry)

which should be replaced by a call

super.createNormalMetaClass(theClass, registry)

since, if createNormalMetaClass is invoked, this call came from super.create. Thus the call to super.create(..) creates infinite recursion.

This occurs for example when executing code like this:

MetaClassCreationHandle handle = new ExpandoMetaClassCreationHandle();
println handle.create(ExpandoMetaClass, GroovySystem.getMetaClassRegistry());
