Angular controller only loads the first time in IE

I'm trying to set up a controller that redirects the user to a specific home page when navigating to a specific url. This different users can have their own landing page.

I have a fortune

.state('database.home', {
    url: '/home',
    templateUrl: "app/Database/Home/home.html",
    controller: "DatabaseHomeController"
})

      

        
        
        
      

    

and controller

(function (ng, app) {

  "use strict";

  app.controller(
      "DatabaseHomeController",
      ["$rootScope", "$scope", "$state", "$stateParams", "sessionService", function ($rootScope, $scope, $state, $stateParams, sessionService) {

          console.log("Database home controller running");

          $stateParams.systemName = sessionService.auth.DefaultSystem;
          $stateParams.objectName = sessionService.auth.Homepage;

          if ($stateParams.objectName) {
              $state.transitionTo("database.object", $stateParams);
          } else {
              $state.transitionTo("login");
          }
      }]);
})
(angular, WebAppName);

      

        
        
        
      

    

This works once in Internet Explorer, but on demand in Chrome / Firefox.

This logging line only appears the first time you click the home link or type url in IE. Every time I see

0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!

      

        
        
        
      

    

in angular.js

Edit:

Too clear as two people asked. $ StateParams is not the cause of the problem.

if (sessionService.auth.Homepage !== "") {
    $state.transitionTo("database.object", { objectName: sessionService.auth.Homepage, systemName: sessionService.auth.DefaultSystem });
} else {
    $state.transitionTo("login");
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Behaves exactly the same as it only works once in IE, but every time in Firefox and Chrome.

Edit 2:

Changing $ state.transistionTo for $ state.go doesn't matter, the infinate loop remains in IE on subsequent uses.
