OK I really have it this time.  It was trial-and-error, really, 
but this code puts the # with extenders on the bottom, and the 9 
and 7 are still in the right order.  I did it by re-ordering the 
_+, 7 and 9 in the 2nd figure.

fb = \figuremode {
\bassFigureExtendersOn
\override Staff.BassFigureAlignment #'stacking-dir = #'1
  <  _+>2 <_+ 7 9 >
}
