Man, maybe my mad Google skillz are not as mad as I thought :(
The best I could come up with was on my first try, though as it's just
a reply to a user asking for a different behavior of it, I doubt this

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2002-10/msg01293.php
Google search terms:
site:archives.postgresql.org "tom lane" "limit -1" "negative"
While I haven't looked at the code myself, I tend to agree with Simon
