Ahah! Your input matrix has negative values, so of course for a symmetric
matrix with negative entries you
can have an output with negative eigenvalues.  This makes total sense, and
is expected: what are the
eigenvalues of the matrix: [[-1, 0], [0,1]]?  {1, -1} of course.

If you were inputting an asymmetric matrix, and getting singular vectors,
then the singular values will
always be positive, but this is not your current case.
