Description
This was introduced with @test_skip in https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl/pull/335
I think maybe we just forgot to debug and fix it.
Not sure why it fails, could be a problem with ChainRulesTestUtils/FiniteDifferences.jl
(I suspect in particular it maybe be that FiniteDifferences is bad at structured matrixes)
But so we don't complete lose track, i have openned this issue

Research direction
Start at test/rulesets/Base/mapreduce.jl lines 103–104, where the rrule(prod, ::Symmetric) tests are disabled with @test_skip. Run or inspect the skipped tests and investigate whether the failure is in ChainRulesTestUtils or FiniteDifferences, particularly for structured matrices. Done means the underlying problem is fixed and the tests can be re-enabled successfully.
