I would argue that probably here the _real_ problem is that the tuplet bracket is designed to always place itself "outside" all the notes, whereas if you look at hand-engraved scores, you'd see that the likely way this would be handled would be for the number _and_ the bracket to be close to the beam, and for the bracket to be broken to let the couple of opposing stems through.

Well, sure, bracket placement could be improved as well.  However, it doesn't make much sense to me that the number should be tied to the position of a bracket which isn't there.
