i ran into something similar last month, and got the following answer  
from graham:

my solution which works for me is to manually shift the metronome-mark:

\override Score.MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(-4 . 0)

this moves it more or less to align to the key-signature – you may  
have to jiggle the x value to get it exactly where you want it.
