Hey, interesting. I tried a few things and came to a conclusion which explains the finding:
Chapter 3.4 in Jarulf's guide lists the columns "Range", "Base-Max" and "Steps" for each prefix or suffix. Those are needed for calculating the price (and repair costs implicitly) of an item.
All the cursed affixes don't have values there so that the price is always negative according to the price calculation formula for cursed items: C = Bp + Bs +Qp + Qs + I / (Mp + Ms).
There is one exception though and it's Hyena's. You can see in the table that it does have those values which I think is an actual bug. If we apply the formula on a Hyena's Ring with -25 Mana, we get a buy price of C = 100 + 0 + 1000 / -2 = -400. A Hyena's Ring with -11 has a Buy price of C = 100 + 900 + 1000 / -2 = 500. The selling price is a quarter of that, so you should get 125 Gold for a -11 Mana Hyena's Ring.
However, this is not true ingame. You can indeed sell a Hyena's Ring with -25 Mana for 125 Gold, but a Hyena's Ring with -11 Mana is worth only 1 gold (as you should expect it from a cursed item). The reason for that is that the succession of the quality steps for the Hyena's prefix is obviously inverted which I would call the second bug related to this prefix. The more cursed the quality level is, the more gold Griswold will offer you for it.
You will get more than 1 gold from Griswold if you sell a Hyena's Ring with -18 Mana or worse or a Hyena's Amulet with -19 Mana or worse, otherwise he will offer only 1 gold.
