Yes, exits are supposed to be able to point to -1.  That is how you can
'look east' and not actually have an exit there.  Another example would be
'look down' and you could put a description of the ground there without an
exit.  'show errors' will point out exits going to room 0, which are truly
bugs.

I think what he means is the OLC changes the exits, OasisOLC previous to
1.6a did that.  It should not do the -1 fountain thing as of v1.5.
