cannot also just work and be the same as the parenthesized version.

Because it does not make any sense. I obviously don't understand your position that "it does not make any sense" -- perhaps you could explain a bit? What I see is a suspension point that is waiting for the results of coro(), which will be negated (and returned/assigned/whatever). What part of that doesn't make sense?

Would that not be "-await coro()"? What "await -coro()" would mean is to call coro() (which would return something you can wait on), then apply - to that (then waiting on the result of that negation). But what does negating an awaitable object mean? Obviously you can define it to mean something, but you probably didn't.
