Problem Description

Timer triggers are allowed to be ran inside loops, because it might trigger multiple instances at the same time and therefore require looping through them.

However, if the trigger calls a function that is in a loop, then it throws an error.

For organization purposes, it is useful to stick functions inside loops near similar groups of events- however this bug prevents that in this case.

The problem is you're not allowed to put a trigger condition inside a loop. The bug is that the editor allows you to set up the events like this when it should be blocked.
