If I change the loop to be the following, I still get the same error:
\def\myloop#1{%
  \tempcnta=\the\startcnt%
  \loop
    \advance \tempcnta by 1
    \if\tempcnta=#1\else \repeat\fi
}
No, the \repeat take the place of the \fi. Also you should always end
numbers with a space or a \relax to avoid trouble due to tex trying to
expand the following commands in search for more numbers.

\newcount\startcnt
\newcount\tempcnta

\def\myloop#1{%
  \tempcnta=\the\startcnt\relax%
  \loop
    \the\tempcnta,
    \advance \tempcnta by 1
    \ifnum\tempcnta<#1 
  \repeat
}

\myloop{10}
