Actually this seems to be expected unless the CPU takes action to prvent
it. As you invert all the bits then add one in two's complement. So
inverting results in INT_MAX then we add one and overflow back to
INT_MIN.

It is undefined though so the CPU could decide to do something
else. OTOH it seems quite unlikely we will get anything other than
INT_MIN or INT_MAX. So I will set sig number to zero as you suggested
and we will just have to rely on UBSAN.
