I looked into this a bit more. Working assumption is that it can happen whenever you're messing around with Fortify Stamina effects. It's not specifically a problem with the infinite Stamina trick, but it can result from this trick all the same. Here are a few fixes I've seen people mention online (I can't test it personally because I haven't gotten the glitch to occur on a character):
- Allow Stamina to refill, then fully drain it by sprinting. (This one cannot be done on the Sapiarch, as he cannot fully drain his Stamina.)
- Open a container, then close it.
- Fast travel.
- Shout.
The Shout one seems like the best bet to me, as this should override both the soundbyte and the animation for the "out of breath" effect. The poster who suggested this specifically mentioned using one word of Unrelenting Force, but I imagine it'd work equally well with any shout. Tim, and anyone else who's experienced this glitch, please give those ideas a try and let us know if any of them fix the issue for you!
