I don't know of any hosts that specifically mention that they will fix coding issues, and even we say that it's out of scope, but what I'm wondering is if they will even make an effort. The way we handle it is to make an attempt for a bit and even if we can't figure it out, we will send you in the right direction to sort it out.

Nobody can afford to provide hosting with expert developers running technical support, but the important thing to look at would be how much effort they put in when trying to fix a problem that they don't even officially support.
