Actually, with a bit more poking around I've found that I did actually have

\override Fingering #'avoid-slur = #'inside

set in an include file in the score. If I comment that out, then the 
slur collides in the same way as the tie, though slightly higher. 
However, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent override available for 
Ties to avoid collisions.
