I think this might be close to what you're looking for. I've been tinkering and finally hit upon a way to get both the staff padding and the \set orientation to work. You have to put the note inside a chord construct. Be sure to put the rhythm indication *outside* the <> though, or else you get errors.

\relative c'' {
   \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
   \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
  <c-1>8 <d-3> <e-0> <fis-2>
}

Crossing fingers!

Thanks, however before asking this list I had read this page and the notation 
guide and searched the internal reference, and did not find what I want. All 
the tweaks I thought of would be awkward; for example moving all the fingering 
positions by a fixed offset could work (1) if I disabling add-stem-support for 
fingerings worked, and (2) if all my stems were all up or all down. Is it 
possible to specify an offset that will inverse the Y-offset automatically 
according to stem direction?

The best way would be an excplicit option to place fingerings below beams, but 
still avoiding collisions with stems.

I'm not sure if this will get precisely what you want, but it should get you on the right track:

It has to do with placement of objects, including fingerings. I tried all of these while proofreading for the GDP and was able to make them work as shown in the examples, but haven't tried any finer placement. If you come up with tweaks that get exactly the placement you want, please share with the list. I'd like to know how to do this, too.
