It doesn't look like a loop to me. You go through the installation
of a number of backends, from abaton to canon; there is a similar
message printed at the end of each backend install. You wouldn't
find any devices if you interrupted the install here, because the
backend for your scanner is the snapscan backend, which is quite
far down on the list.

Try letting the install finish and running scanimage again.
