Yeah, I noticed already. And it contradicts reasonable user-expectations.
Viewing it from inside LilyPond: the situation is indeed different if
you have one or more Fingerings. Multiple Fingerings are collected in
FingeringColumn and an own placing algorithm is at work. With only one
Fingering a FingeringColumn is not created at all.

I wonder if it would make sense if a FingeringColumn (with easy
accessible customizing possibilities) would always be created even for
only one Fingering, similar to NoteColumn with a single NoteHead.
