Why sometimes instantaneous power losses computed with LS model are negative?

The losses computed with the LS model are corresponding to magnetic losses. When the hysteresis curve is followed, the magnetic material can store magnetic energy, and sometimes can release the stored magnetic energy. This is the reason why sometimes the instantaneous losses can be negative. BUT the average value must be positive on a period.
