is there any scenario where you create a wallet, sends fund to one of the addresses, delete and restore the wallet properly using the seed but can't send the bitcoin you have?
For example, If you ever import a private key after creating the wallet, a wallet restored from the seed-phrase will not have that private key.
I've no idea whether this is what Lopp had in mind. One obvious point is that the addresses and money associated with the imported private key wouldn't show up in the recreated wallet. So the issue ought to be apparent before you get to the point of checking money is spendable.
Having money visible but unspendable is something I associate with importing addresses. This usually shows up as amounts marked "unspendable" or "watch-only". Again, imported addresses don't appear in wallets recreated from a seed address so the issue should be clear before you get to the point of checking spendability.
Some people might have both a cold wallet and a hot wallet. The hot wallet might have watch-only addresses for the cold-wallet's contents. If you accidentally recreated the hot wallet instead of the cold wallet, and did so from a backup rather than from seed-phrase, you could end up with a wallet that couldn't spend all the visible money.
You'd have to ask Lopp to clarify exactly what was meant if you need to be certain.
