Starting at gen 6, female Pokémon gain the ability to pass down their Balls. In gen 7, any breedable Pokémon (even male-only or genderless species) are capable of doing so. This gives us the possibility to breed several previously unobtainable ability-Ball combinations, due to some of them, such as the Safari Ball, being long-lost stuff. In most cases, this is not a problem at all, since a pre-gen 5 Pokémon caught in a Safari Ball can breed with a gen 5-onwards one of the same species, opposite gender, and hidden ability, it is possible to legitimately generate HA Safari Ball offspring.
However, Johto's Safari Zone features several genderless Pokémon. Due to the aforementioned new mechanic, these Pokémon can indeed be bred in Safari Balls, but it's not possible for them to have their hidden abilities due to their inability to breed with members of their own species. Since they can only breed with Ditto, and Ditto cannot pass down neither abilities nor Balls, it's impossible for them to get the Safari Ball + Hidden Ability combination. PKHeX overlooks that, and no one seems to have noticed it, so thanks for pointing it out, I did some testing and found out all of the following Pokémon, along with their respective evolutions, seem to be affected by this issue:

  • Magnemite
  • Voltorb
  • Lunatone (this one doesn't have an actual HA, but setting its ability to "Levitate (H)" is still taken as legal with a Safari Ball)
  • Solrock (same as Lunatone)
  • Beldum
  • Bronzor
