It also works with

StreamPlot[-1 {x, y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

originally tried it in the graphical front end; I'm only doing it from 
the command line interface for demonstration.)

In[1]:= StreamPlot[-{x, y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

Interestingly enough if the StreamPlot is not involved, nothing but happens:

In[1]:= -{a, b}

Out[1]= {-a, -b}

And plotting {-x, -y} instead of -{x, y} works fine:

In[1]:= StreamPlot[{-x, -y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

Out[1]= -Graphics-
