Comment (by sjamaan):

 It shouldn't cause a problem in practice, I think. For dividing flonums we
 rely on the libc {{{modf()}}} function which is according to the standard
 is supposed to return the same sign as its input.

 Perhaps you can test in a simple C function what {{{modf(1.0, &x)}}}
 returns and what it stores in {{{x}}}?
