The way the mod() function works for negative numbers has annoyed me a
lot too, but having originally learned about the mod() function through
POV-Ray, I thought it was just the way it was supposed to work, pleasant
or not.

Actually, if you look in colors.inc in the CH2RGB macro, you will see
that I explicitly worked around the problem by having this line

#local H = mod(H, 360);

be followed by this one:

#local H = (H < 0 ? H+360 : H);


Internally, isn't it just some int() call that should be replaced with
floor()? From the docs:

   mod(A,B) Value of A modulo B. Returns the remainder
   after the integer division of A/B.
   Formula is mod=((A/B)-int(A/B))*B.
