Is this correct behavior?
I agree that one can argue that it's not correct. As far as I can see, it should be easy to fix this behavior. On the other hand, I might imagine that people got used to writing --option=-1 to mean "huge value, practically no limit". That is, while it's technically easy to fix, I'm not sure it should be fixed.
