There simply isn't a unary operation.  There are ongoing discussions about 
turning MLlib vectors and matrices into a full-fledged local linear algebra 
library, but currently, you could convert to numpy/scipy and use those library 
for pyspark.

If this is the case, then a warning/clarification in the documentation wouldn't 
hurt - Spark users are not supposed to be aware of the internal "ongoing 
discussions" between Spark developers (BTW, any relevant link would be very 
welcome - I could not find any mention in MLlib & Breeze docs, neither in the 
recent preprint papers on linalg & MLlib).
All in all, I suggest you re-open the issue with a different type (it's not a 
bug, as you say), and the required resolution being a notification in the 
relevant docs ("don't try this..., because...").

That's a good point.  I'll reopen this and edit it to be for documenting the 
current limitations.  Thanks!
