While that sort of border effect could be useful, allowing it through
a negative argument on border-radius doesn't seem like a great way to
do it.  What happens if you specify both the height and width of a
corner, and one is positive but the other negative?

If we want multiple different corner styles (we do), then we should
address that directly through a separate property.  That way we can
present normal corners, scooped corners like you describe, and several
others, like dogear corners (just a straight line  cutting it off).

That way you'd create a scooped corner with something like this:

foo {
  border-radius: 8px;
  border-radius-style: scooped;
}
