After few transaction by "sendtoaddress" command balance in "" become negative. I solved with the "move" command from more account to "". I suppose this is a bug.

Sounds like it worked fine? If you want to send from another account, use the sendfrom method.

Not a bug, sendtoaddress always debits the "" account.
If you don't like that behavior, don't use sendtoaddress.

Hmmm, this happened to me today, the negative balance kind of freaked me out for a moment. What is the proper way to send coins on the command line to a specified address, if not sendtoaddress? Or is this expected behavior?

That is expected behaviour, if your incoming transactions credit accounts other than "", but outgoing transactions debit account "" (the default if you're not using sendfrom), the "" account will go negative. As accounts are purely virtual balances, and have nothing to do with the actual amount of coins in the whole wallet, this is not a problem.

Errr. Ok. Interesting. So, is there a way to do something like a sendtoaddress command that won't leave me with odd negative balances?

Use the sendfrom RPC command.
And you can use the 'move' RPC command to reset account balances to what you expect (and listaccounts to see all accounts / balances)
