It can be worked around by using an explicit Cast expression

qs.update(big_int_column=Cast(F('positive_big_int_column'), BigIntegerField()) - F('big_int_column'))

But you risk data corruption if positive_big_int_column is larger than what MySQL allows storing an a signed bigint. PostgreSQL and Oracle backends don't suffer from that as they implement PositiveBigIntegerField using a check constraint. SQLite simply have an integer type without constraints at all so it's also not affected.

I'll close as wontfix as it's really just a MySQL quirk due to the usage of UNSIGNED data types to implement PositiveIntegerField variants. I guess there isn't much that can be done until we drop support for MySQL < 8 since the latter introduces CHECK constraints support.
