Actually, LilyPond should take care of that, it's one of the most
embarrassing shortcomings.  To get a somewhat acceptable result with
1.4.0,  you can tweak Slur's attachment-offset, see below.

Also, it looks lik the attachment-offset is not 'corrected' for the
direction of the slur; that's not very practial.  I'm not sure if
that's a bug, I'll have to look into that.
