Comment(by Otto42):

 Replying to [comment:5 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > It shouldn't be any problem. It might be the software that's using the
 XML-RPC interface. But still, we could catch a negative parent and turn
 that into a 0 instead...

 Oh, no, the client software is not sending it. It's in the xmlrpc.php
 file, definitely.

 Line 2877 is where it gets set to -1 when the image is uploaded.

 Line 2272 is where it searches for the -1 entries and corrects their
 parent id's (after the actual post comes in and gets created, since
 uploads happen first).

 My worry is that we're using zero in that field somewhere else for
 something else and using that could cause interference. But I don't think
 that will be an issue, just that it's possible.
