Follow-up Comment #1:

Because it is not the same as positive zero.


>> signbit (0)
ans = 0
>> signbit (-0)
ans = 1


It may be equal to positive zero using the == operator, but it is not the same
value in binary floating point representation.

Asking about things like this seems better suited for the help mailing list
rather than a bug report.
