I'm not aware of this (though I don't doubt that you're right).
Could you give me an example?

It works in the context of a `concat', so I think the problem is some
kind of interaction with `word-space'.
This file illustrates it:
\version "2.13.4"
%% Here the negative hspace works just as expected.
\markup {
\column {
\concat { I I I }
\concat { I \hspace #0.9 I I }
\concat { I \hspace #-0.9 I I }
}
}
%% But the negative hspace here has very little effect.
\markup {
\column {
\line { I I I }
\line { I \hspace #0.9 I I }
\line { I \hspace #-0.9 I I }
}
}
