Well, fingerings go to Fingering_engraver but the string-numbers go to 
New_fingering_engraver.  (Better than version 2.14, when string-numbers they 
were simply dropped.)   I opened bug-tracker issue

I see no urgency, since there was a very similar bug-report 
<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1029>
satisfied to everyone's satisfaction.  Making \thumb like the other fingerings
would still give wrong output for Olivier's example (just wrong in a more 
regular way).
