Or... a really clever (or stupid... it's a fine line!) hack,  
involving forcing the Slur under, then rotating it 180 degrees and  
extra-offsetting it back into place!  =)

% EXAMPLE BEGIN

\version "2.9.18"

\paper
{
        indent = 0\in
        line-width = 3\in
}

theHack =
{
        \once \override Slur #'rotation = #'(180 0 0)
        \once \override Slur #'extra-offset = #'(0.2 . 2.8)
}
theMusic = \relative c''
{
        \voiceOne
        r8 g' \theHack f_( e ~ e) c d4 \break
}

\score
{
        \theMusic
}

% EXAMPLE END

Thanks!
Kieren.
