Yes, the --user-*-deps parameters plus sorcery menu are a shortcut to
using the orhpan/child/recast-parent/etc. command line parameters.

user-deps implied both of user-child-deps and user-parent-deps, so you can 
use either the first one, or the last two.

In the menu if you set all the values to ask-yes except for non-orphan
to ignore then:
dispel --user-deps
is equivalent to
dispel --orphan ask-yes  --non-orphan ignore --recast-parent ask-yes  
--dispel-parent ask-yes

Similarly, this
dispel --user-child-deps
would be equivalent to
dispel --orphan ask-yes  --non-orphan ignore

No, you did something right, you found a bug! :-)
It appears that a shift command is missing while parsing --user-child-deps
parameter which causes the infinite loop.

Thanks
Andrew
