I believe the answer is:

poisoned chalice

(Other definitions for poisoned chalice that I've seen before include "This is likely to cause trouble" , "undoing?" , "This could have unfortunate consequences" , "may be a curse in disguise" , "Problematic assignment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
