I'm sorry for spoilering you! If it helps, I've no idea whether that spoiler was true as it's from an anonymous spoiler, not an actual article or anything, so I'll still be a bit surprised if it actually happens the way that spoiler says it will.
I think fake physics definitely have a rule that goes something like "And all laws of reality will be fudged if it makes for a touching scene or an excellently amusing line," which I sort of love because said scenes and lines are part of what makes the show so much fun.
I think what strikes me most about the time loops that you're talking about is the degree of trust they involve, which hadn't really occurred to me before. I just love that River and the Doctor aren't just in love and doing crazy time whatsits they're using crazy time whatsits to express their love. God, I love that Moffat's a romantic.
I wonder if the first time River pulled one of these loops she worried at all that the Doctor wouldn't come through for her, sort of like how other women worry about their boyfriend calling after a first date to ask them out again. I now want a fic that deals with that...
