Is there a programming equivalent of the strawberry problem, i.e. a specific coding task that LLMs are consistently bad at?

I've been compilation buffers in Emacs recently and I really appreciate the error and warning counts shown in the modeline. I've added the equivalent feature to deadgrep: it shows result counts! Really useful when you're doing big refactorings.

I'm amused (and kinda surprised) to learn that shells have their own equivalent of blink tags, a blink escape code! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17439482/how-to-make-a-text-blink-in-shell-script Seems equally annoying, I can't see a good use for it.
