It seems that the Endless Zone glitch is related to the Zen Garden glitch. I noticed that the glitch had been starting for me on different levels each time, so I decided to experiment a little in Big Bad Butte. I noticed a couple things.

First:  The plant selection seems to follow a set pattern. On both my account and my wife's, we would get the same first plant selection each time. They differed by account, but remained the same for multiple attempts to play the level. In her case, the first choice for level 1 each time was between Plant Food, Bonk Choy, and Kernel-pult.

Second:  The glitch of being trapped in the Endless Zone without the ability to choose a card each level or exit the EZ properly never began until I went to the Zen Garden. When I did it on the level 1, I wouldn't get to choose any new plants at all, while I'd gain a couple if I played a few levels without visiting the Zen Garden. When I played without visiting it at all, it allowed me to keep advancing through levels and selecting plants until I finally died, at which point the game ended normally rather than restarting that level. I was also able to Save and Exit during the course of the game when I had not visited the Zen Garden.

This makes me wonder whether they had been trying to fix the Zen Garden glitch, and ended up making things worse instead. On the bright side, I guess that those who already have a collection of plants they want to use in order to reach higher levels can now try to do so with the knowledge that they'll get to repeat the level if they lose in order to try advancing further.
