According to Apel (1962: 99), the general rule would seem to be that the dot should be on the right if it applies to the final note of the whole ligature, but on top if it is anywhere else (flexa or no flexa). He has one example of a flexa followed by several square notes, with a dot above the following square note (i.e. in a position that happens to be also just to the right of the flexa), but the dot is meant to apply to the square note over which it stands, not the flexa.
