If we're talking about hyperg_U_negx(a,b,x,&result) there is indeed no
provision for complex numbers, it is just going to return NaN if the
result is not real. 

I have to say I didn't implement all the possible cases that give real
results either, as mentioned in the comments there, only the most
obvious ones.
