These values are -1 printed as an unsigned 32-bit number. We use -1 to mean
default (the uid/gid libvirt is running as).

This gets parsed as a signed integer and fails on 32-bit, since it's too big.
But on 64-bit it works the same as specifying '-1' would.

It's not normal and it's printed as -1 again since 0.10.0, fixed by commit
37a1012 mentioned by Eric in the last e-mail.
