I know nothing about that.

Is that still a problem in 1.24.x?  I thought it was fixed by:

   <08a5dab> 2014-11-17 [Denys Vlasenko]  ash: fix handling of negative start value in ${v:start:len}

which was before 1.24 was released.  The fix also predates bug #7688 which
seems to cover the same thing, but for 1.22.x.  I don't think it ever was
fixed in 1.22.
