The glitch basically takes away a few rupees from you, but because you have less that that amount of rupees it beings it beyond zero into the the negative rupee territory. That can not happen so boom the number oferflows to the games set max limit of rupees 9,999,999. I assume it overflows to -16,777,215. That being FFFFFF in hex. But since the hard max limit on rupees is 9,999,999 that's what it changes to.
Nintendo really need to up the max number of rupees to 99,999,999. Because to clear out an 8 slot weapon costs 2 million + and levelling over 100 levels on a character at once is easily over 3 million + depending on how close to level 200/250 they are.

Will this be patched out with patch 1.6.0 coming in a few days? Most likely yes. So if you want to try this out (it's rather random so I've heard) you'd better do it now before the new patch comes into effect.
Someone posted the results of them doing the glitch on Miiverse.

[edit] I tried to do the glitch with Link. I killed the Ghomas long range with Link while the yellow circle was around the Ghoma and not using a weak point smash. I also ran away as soon as I killed the Ghoma so it disappeared off screen. No dice. I tried about 4x just to see if I could get it to work and I could not. But I'm not going to worry about it too much. Hopefully the new boss and Ganon modes will bring in lots of rupees.
