REp stays on the last setting you had it on so if you give a neg rep you have to actively change it back to positive. Positive is not the default setting each time. So I guess it was either a slip of the mouse or you got repped by someone who is a bit careless.
While I have nothing against people using the neg rep justly (ie signed, for genuine explained reasons not vitriol or vengeance), I do think they should be careful to avoid this. Especially since they would have to wait to correct their error according to the normal "Spread it around" rules...
