I just looked carefully into the code and realized that using signed integers is a proper way of handling addends, because they may be negative numbers as well.
As for MOV addend of Thumb instruction you mentioned, it's formed from exactly 16 bits, and the value is a signed integer, which may be negative (as the reference says). So using signed integers is perfectly fine for all relocation types.
