I have had my share of similar IRB frustrations. In fact, the best project I ever formulated (in my humble opinion) died on an IRB conference table. Luckily, that was my old insitution and my new one seems a bit more laid back.
There's evidence, though, that I suffer PTSD from those previous experiences: the other day, when I learned that I had cleared my most recent IRB hurdle, I was happier than learning a recent manuscript was accepted for publication. That's really, really sad.
