It was probably copied from the gif(4) manual page.

I doubt it matters much for gre, but if this configuration stops working
with gif, it will become _impossible_ to talk to IPsec peers which do not
implement transport mode.

I believe we don't run into the recursion with gif because of the (rather
frightening) way packets actually are fed into gif for encapsulation in
the IPsec case.
