Non-trivial infinite recursion can't be detected early, and it's the non-trivial cases that people miss in basic testing.  Potential infinite recursion can also be trivially detected, however more or less any recursive algorithm is potentially "infinitely recursing" so i suspect such a warning would be seen as unhelpful noise.
