That's gotta be unphysical, right?

AFAIK that happens and it's expected due to hier extraction.

Say, C of a net to substrate is extracted for a sub block. But then when you instanciate that sub block, some of the field of the side wall is shielded by something, magic will extract a negative capacitance to "remove" the capacitance that was shielded.

Yeah, it's when the surrounding extracted subcircuits over-account for the capacitance due to free-field assumptions.
