I do not have such example handy.  However, I quickly tried
few examples and the third is:

(5) -> limit(x^2*exp(-x)*Ei(x) - x, x=%plusInfinity)  

   (5)  1
                      Type: Union(OrderedCompletion(Expression(Integer)),...)

AFIACS this is correct.  OTOH:

Maxima 5.38.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 1.2.4.debian
Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) limit(x^2*exp(-x)*expintegral_ei(x) - x, x, inf);
(%o1)                                minf

which is wrong.

BTW: This is easy for Gruntz method so Sympy probably gets it right.
