This resolves issue #1313.
The problem was in the bidiagonalization where U and V is computed. There is a corner case where U D V doesn't agree how the sign should be handled when the reflection axis has zero magnitude.
This solution fixes the correctness but I would like some input on how to make the test for zero magnitude more efficient.
