Thanks for the report. I'm going to say that this is fine to work this way. At some point, there's not enough power for the inserter to operate normally when combined with a looping belt and the item it wants constantly moving out of reach. The solution is simple: you need to build more power.

Yeah, I was trying to fix power outage caused by disappeared signal. And on Gleba I need burnable materials which are made out of fruits. And to deliver fruits, I need trains loaded by inserters.
