That would be nice (it would remove the ambiguity), but I do not know
how. You can do it by hand, however, using a text spanner (mind the
different placement of \ottava and \startTextSpan!).

\version "2.16.0"
{
  \ottava #1
  \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'stencil = ##f
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "8va"
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = "loco"
  \override TextSpanner #'style = #'none
  g''2
  \startTextSpan
  f''4
  \ottava #0
  e''
  \stopTextSpan
}
