It definitely sounds like a bug. I've added it to the
tracker at

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6346

I am not aware of a better workaround (and it's not
even clear to me why giving the Fingering an
outside-staff-priority works; note that in my tests,
the actual value of outside-staff-priority doesn't matter).

Best,
