That would be a bug.  Please M-x report-emacs-bug.
The doc is pretty clear:

`left'
     The position, in pixels, of the left (or right) edge of the frame
     with respect to the left (or right) edge of the screen.  The value
     may be:

    an integer
          A positive integer relates the left edge of the frame to the
          left edge of the screen.  A negative integer relates the
          right frame edge to the right screen edge.

Note that you may want to try

  (setq initial-frame-alist
        (append '((top . 0) (left . (- 100))) initial-frame-alist))

To see if it works around this bug.

Same for the second as for the first.  BTW, in your bug-report do
mention which was the previous release you used where you did not see
the problem (e.g. 23.1 or 22.3).
