Funnily enough, someone at a recent OSM East Mids meetup mentioned exactly that sort of issue - specifically the width of some wheelchairs and the difficulty navigating the entrance / exit (not someone _at_ the meetup, just someone who happened to be in the same room of the pub). I'm pretty sure that I'd struggle to tell whether a bus was "actually accessible" or not until I'd actually tried it with a wheelchair.
Other examples of this sort of thing that I'm aware of are a barrier/bend in the path combination (1) that is probably doable in most wheelchairs but not on a mobility scooter (the problem there is not the width of the barrier but that combined with the location) and a crossing of a busy road (2) which is likely impassable to both most of the time because of the volume of traffic. I've refrained from adding wheelchair tags to either because I don't think I'm best placed to make the necessary value judgement about it.
