Description 

sage: G = DirichletGroup(-20); G
Group of Dirichlet characters of modulus -20 over Cyclotomic Field of order 4 and degree 2
sage: chi = G.0; chi
Dirichlet character modulo -20 of conductor 4 mapping 11 |--> -1, 17 |--> 1

pretends to work, but then most things like chi.gauss_sum() etc fail.

Either DirichletGroup with a negative modulus should yield an error or return the one with |modulus|

I just changed the inequality to modulus <= 0 to make the error message clearer in the case modulus = 0.
