Sure, done in trunk bzr 115598.

No, because valid time stamps can be negative, and neither
0 nor invalid_timestamp would compare less than these
valid time stamps.

Here's a shell transcript to illustrate:

$ touch -d 0001-12-25 Christmas-1-AD
$ ls -l oldfile
-rw-r--r--. 1 eggert eggert 0 Dec 25  0001 Christmas-1-AD
$ ls -l --time-style=+%s oldfile
-rw-r--r--. 1 eggert eggert 0 -62104665600 Christmas-1-AD

For this file, file-attributes returns the time stamp
(-947642 512 0 0), and -62104665600 == (-947642 << 16) + 512.
