There are a few things which may cause the scrub to restart. See:

6655927 zpool status causes a resilver or scrub to restart
6343667 scrub/resilver has to start over when a snapshot is taken

Sorry the latter doesn't have a useful description, but the synopsis 
says it all: taking snapshots causes scrubs to restart. Either of these 
may explain the "negative progress."
