What software do you use to take your calibration frames?
Flats will not change the sign of the minimum value as the operator is a division.
Attached are two images from a stack of images of C/2013 V5 that I took last night, apart from being two different images, one has been calibrated and one not so, you can see the hot pixel to the left and a bit below the comet? Its value in the uncalibrated image is 65k, and -512 in the calibrated image.
Doesn't seem to matter in the final image though.

Thanks Stuart! Yes, I did use an adaptive dark subtraction (12 in darks). In the past I've had better results not doing this. I appreciate your explanation for the negative values after calibraton.
