One of the old ones

Never forgot an old one I used to see a decade ago. Something related to a COM+ component or some database.

"Task failed successfully"

Took a long, long time to "understand" what was going on (the task failed, and the operations needed to properly deal with this failure were successful), but for the common user it was a message at the same time amusing and excruciatingly irritating.
