Haruhi's loop may reset perfectly each time, but after the reset probability sets in again, changing the outcome in minor (or major) ways each time...until it loops again.
Bit errors each time, but they don't seem to mount up since she's using the original as her copy source rather than copy of a copy of a copy.
And while the Time Travellers can't penetrate the loop (perhaps they could, but Mikuru's problem is that she's attempting to get contact from relative time ahead of her rather than actual time ahead of her, the she's connecting with loop 12,000 from loop 373 rather than 2009 to whatever year she is from. Thus her temporal coordinates are off enough that she doesn't make contact...her device is off tune, rather the future not existing), the aliens (or at least Yuki) are still fully intact each loop.
The aliens exist outside of Haruhi's space-time loop, thus at least Yuki's memories do not reset. One assumes she could be in contact with the outside world still, or she's managed to sync up with a future version that is far enough ahead to be outside the loop, thus she might know exactly when the loop with end...though that doesn't mean she won't be bored while still in the loop.
On the other hand, maybe the "future" does not exist anymore. There are in a sealed loop of time-space, never ending, always repeating. Mikuru's people are gone since there will never be a September, much less a future. Yuki's people are also gone, but her own mind exists outside of time, therefore there is a dimention that Haruhi's loop does not effect. However she might not be able to sync with a future self because there still is no future to sync with. Thus she does not know how to escape, nor when the looping will end, only what has happened inside the loop since it began.
The probability is about the only thing keeping Yuki even the slightest bit sane. Minor things excite her now. A new bug she catches, a new star to look at. A different mask to buy. A different set of clothes to see. (I'm suprised Yuki hasn't started wearing different clothes other than her school uniform over all these loops, just to keep from being bored.) Shifts in the weather, slight variations in activities. All things that keep Yuki from loosing herself. It isn't much as you can see the looping is getting to her by loop 15,498.
The techincal question is...what happens when they do escape the loop? What is time-space like when it finally becomes September 1st for Haruhi? Is everything in its correct place in the 4 dimentions she is known to be effecting with her loop? Will it be as if no loops happened (aside from Yuki's knowledge and the rest of the group's knowledge that they were looping)? Or will the universe outside be several hundred years older than it should be on Earth?
