3.6 has some quirks around parsing pure negative queries sometimes. Try *:* -whatever.
BTW, a syntax I like for doing delete-by-query just in a raw URL is http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/update?commit=true&stream.body=<delete><query>*:* -store_0_coordinate:[* TO *]</query></delete> The curl you used is, of course, fine. I just find the above easier.
