Thanks for the report. However, we have to be careful not to confuse
SCM_UNPACK with SCM_INUM:

What is actually meant here is to try whether the number (and not the bit
structure) is less than zero. Thus, SCM_INUM should be used rather than
SCM_UNPACK.

* numbers.c (scm_ash): Fixed typing problems with the second
parameter and added some documentation. (Thanks Thien-Thi Nguyen
for indicating the problem.)
And, also thank you for providing the testcases. They made testing easy
for me!
