In a chord containing a second, if I place the fingering above the notes to avoid having the fingering numerals overlapping each other (see https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2541), then the numerals default to being placed much higher above the noteheads than is normal or if either of the notes in the second is omitted from the chord:

\version "2.15.43"

\relative c'' {
    \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
    \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
    \override Fingering #'add-stem-support = ##f
    <d-0 c-3 f,-0>4 <d^0 c^3 f,-0> <d^0 f,-0> <c^3 f,-0>
}

A similar problem happens with fingerings where the same note is played simultaneously on two different strings. This happens quite frequently when transcribing the lute music of Silvius Leopold Weiss for guitar:

\version "2.15.43"

\relative c' {
    \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
    \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
    \override Fingering #'add-stem-support = ##f
    <d-0 d-4>4
}
