Documentation should state this more clearly.

0xffffffff isn't negative, it's 4294967295 which is over limit so 2147483647 is returned according to documentation.

Actually 0xffffffff is neither negative nor positive. It depends upon how we treat it: as signed or as unsigned.

Ok. Should I close the bug?
