I suggest that it is not treated differently than a value of zero: the filter primitive does not have any effect on the input image, the input does not get blurred. I'll change the specification text to this suggestion.

Note that I would disagree with this for blur() - a negative value
should be invalid at parse time.  We try not to do fixup in CSS, since
we have good fallback mechanisms.
