Obviously, the printf command is "buggy" somehow, because it should not interpret the "-1" in
printf "-1 2 3 4\n"
as command line parameter.
I will think about filing a bug against Debian's coreutils package.
Some tools require a "--" as a "no more parameters ahead" delimiter if you intend to use values that start with "-".
Did you try this?
printf -- "-1 2 3 4\n"
(Not on a Linux machine right now, so can't try it myself)
