OK, I see now that "ENV should be in the same format as
`process-environment'", and that, in `process-environment', "[e]ach
element should be a string of the form ENVVARNAME=VALUE". So yes, it
is known that there shouldn't be negative entries, and it is even
documented.

Still, perhaps this change would be useful...
