Emulation [or anything played off the original console] will never be 100% perfect.
Wasn't there a wiki page for PS1 games that don't work with the PS2?

That said, I again put forth the Wii as an example where backwards compatibility, contrary to what I'm sure you intended to state, is perfect with its predecessor's library. The only "issues" are due to the lack of certain connections like the GCN's high speed parallel port.
It runs GameCube code exactly as a GameCube would.
Probably
But there's also one about incompatible PS2 titles, on PS2's. That happens when you produce 150 million consoles and it goes through near countless revisions over the course of well over a decade. You inevitably create issues with certain titles meant for said console. I wouldn't be surprised if my PSOne also has issues with a very small minority of the PS1 library, since that was also obviously extremely successful and long lived, with thousands of titles produced for it.
PS2 compatibility with the PS1 is top notch, and not worth avoiding just because a minuscule fraction of the library has issues on particular models. With a production run like these consoles had and the huge amount of software produced for them, such issues can crop up even when playing a particular game on the console that it was primarily intended for.

This is why it's good to have a PS1 and 2. The grey consoles are cheap enough, go get one. The only game I've had problems with is disc 2 to metal gear solid, but it could just be my disc.
