Short description of error
As title says, there are problems with armature constraints if the armature object is scaled negativ on at least one axis.
Some constraints get wrong rotation or scale the bone negativ.

Not sure if this is a known issue. Aligorith has mentioned something about rotation & scale handling in this blog: http://code.blender.org/2015/03/animation-system-roadmap-2015-edition/

After reading about the New Interpolation Method for Constraints in 2.77, I was curious to see if this fixes some issues.
But unfortunately it introduces more problems, so 2.77 was a step back in this case.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
To find out whats going wrong with the constraints, I have prepared a file with a problem showcase:

Please note that the armature object is scaled negativ on X.
All constraint checkboxes are disabled. Keep this in mind when testing copy/limit rotations.

This causes two main issues:

• Some Constraints automatically scale the bone negativ, although nothing should happen.
• In 2.77, reducing the influence under 100% causes the same effect and in addition heavy rotation errors, for example on "damped track" and "copy rotation" constraints.

Why scaling armatures or its parents negativ?
To have a mirrored setup without taking much changes or breaking links.
For example to use a right hand object as left hand object.
