Comment:

 I also can't reproduce.  Here's some test code I used:
 {{{
 $my_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=10&orderby=date&order=DESC');
 if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                 echo "<h2>Without Cat=-###</h2>";
                 while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                                 $p = $my_query->next_post();
                                 echo $p->post_date . " : " .
 $p->post_title . "<br />\r\n";
                 }
 }

 $my_query = new
 WP_Query('cat=-679&posts_per_page=10&orderby=date&order=DESC');
 if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                 echo "<h2>With Cat=-### DESC</h2>";
                 while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                                 $p = $my_query->next_post();
                                 echo $p->post_date . " : " .
 $p->post_title . "<br />\r\n";
                 }
 }

 $my_query = new
 WP_Query('cat=-679&posts_per_page=10&orderby=date&order=ASC');
 if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                 echo "<h2>With Cat=-### ASC</h2>";
                 while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
                                 $p = $my_query->next_post();
                                 echo $p->post_date . " : " .
 $p->post_title . "<br />\r\n";
                 }
 }
 }}}

 And my output with some test data on a trunk site looked like this:
