It's a little bit tongue in cheek; no one is seriously suggesting it's harder than P=NP or the problem of consciousness. But there's something a bit "death and taxes" to the inevitability that any large enough project is going to have some corner cases involving these old chestnuts.

Heck you can probably prove that any system for naming things is either inconsistent or incomplete.

Well, I for one feel that "naming things" ultimately boils down to the latter, which may or may not be harder than the former.
