I just noticed a similar, although not as bad, looking infection on my cider, when it was time to rack it over to secondary. Since it still tasted good, i decided to keep it. Comparing my infection to pictures posted by other homebrewers, I'm quite positive it's a lactobacillus infection. I haven't really found that much info about how this kind of infection can affect the taste of a cider.
Do you remember how your cider eventually turned out? At this point there is absolutely nothing wrong with the taste of this one. I think I'll let it sit in the secondary for a month or two before I bottle it (if it's not turned bad). I can think of two reasons for this infection: 1) The yeasts (T-58) best before date was overdue by a year, so it might have taken some time before the fermentation started, which might have given other bugs a head start. 2) The lid of the fermentation bucket is not airtight, so some airborne bugs might have gotten in.
Another batch, made from the same apple juice, looked and tasted perfectly fine at this point. This was fermented with fresh Mangrove Jacks cider yeast, in an airtight fermentation bucket.
