Truly obfuscated code will just plain cause the Hex-Rays decompiler to crash, producing absolutely no output at all.

I don't think it would necessarily crash, unless you intentionally wrote code to target a specific bug in Hex-rays itself. You can certainly get Hex-rays to output confusing information on purpose without actually targeting it. If this was obfuscated, you'd expect that would be much more likely.
