http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1029

Workaround suggested by Neil: make thumb of fingering

thumb =
#(make-music 'FingeringEvent
                     'text (markup #:fontsize 5  
#:musicglyph "scripts.thumb"))

\relative c' {
  \override Fingering #'text =
  #(lambda (grob)
     (let ((finger-text (ly:event-property (event-cause grob) 'text)))
          (if (markup? finger-text)
                            finger-text
                            (fingering::calc-text grob))))
  c4\thumb
}
