Allowing negative numbers wouldn't change any existing behavior (assuming we consider the leading "-" an error before, as we would per this RFC). The problem is only on the decbin, decoct and dechex side, where we currently treat the input as unsigned. base_convert could also support negative numbers, though it might need some implementation changes (it would be great to make base_convert directly work from string -> string to avoid the float precision loss.)
