I don't think it should return a +-; +/- maybe, but not +-.

As for other positions, here is one where many programs want to play a losing
move:

[D] 2r5/5kp1/p2b4/6B1/1P2R2P/8/2p5/2K5 w - - 0 1

1.Kb2! is best, holding a draw in a poor position. 1.Bf4? is the move most
programs want to play. But I doubt it would make a good test position, programs
could play Kb2 not seeing much difference between it an Bf4.
