I find that tweaks of the TupletNumber stencil are somewhat quirky.
There may be a bug involved.

I'd just punt here and use

%%% Start
\version "2.19.83"
\include "english.ly"

\relative {
  \scaleDurations 2/3 {
    af''8 g8. f16 f8 ef8. df16
    \tuplet 3/2 { df16[ ef df } c8 r16 bf]
  }
}
%%% End
