Figured bass extender line problem possible workaround

Hi, I'm trying to find a workaround to the extender line problem in figured bass in Lilypond development series 2.7.2x. Here is the file:

\version "2.7.23"
\header {
}
<<
\relative { c c c c \break c c c c  }
\context FiguredBass \figuremode { \set useBassFigureExtenders = ##t \set figuredBassCenterContinuations = ##f
\set figuredBassAlterationDirection = #1 \set figuredBassPlusDirection = #1
<10 3>4. <10 3>8 <6+ 4>4. <6+ 4>8
<10 3++>4. <10 3++>8 <6+ 4->4.  <6+ 4->8 } >>

In the attached file figbass.pdf, the extender line problem is highlighted in the 1st bar. As you can see, the extender lines in the 1st bar are not horizontally aligned. This appears when there is 1. A double digit figure with a single digit figure and 2. A figure with a right sided accidental with a figure without accidentals. In trying to find a workaround, I have tried to add right sided accidentals to the unaffected figures so that the right sided horizontal alignment of the figures as well as the resulting extender lines are more or less aligned properly (bar 2). However, the only problem here is how to make those extra accidentals (the double sharp in the first figure and the flat in the second) disappear. The problem with overriding the transparency of the figures is that the entire figure with the accidental will disappear instead of only the accidental. I also tried using the BassFigureContinuation object to move the individual extender line but I can't since it moved the entire double extender line. Any ideas on how to make the individual figure accidentals disappear without affecting the main figures?
