New submission from Марк Коренберг:

As you can see, these conversions are not consistent. What is use case to allow 
that?

===================

In [22]: (-1).to_bytes(0, 'big', signed=True)
Out[22]: b''

In [23]: (0).to_bytes(0, 'big', signed=True)
Out[23]: b''

As you can see, two different values serialized to same  empty bytes sequence.

===================

In [28]: int.from_bytes(b'', 'big', signed=True)
Out[28]: 0

In [29]: int.from_bytes(b'', 'big', signed=False)
Out[29]: 0

Anyway, -1 can not be deserialized.
