Thanks, all, for the suggestions.

Increasing the slur region ended up pushing the slur rather high. So I 
ended up going back to \shape, and also pushing the accidental closer to 
the notehead (thanks to Malte's suggestion of extra-offset -- somehow I 
thought X-offset would work -- will try to remember extra-offset next 
time).

That gives me something acceptable (attached). The octave slur is perhaps a 
tiny bit flamboyant, but I found in my \shape experiments that a too-flat 
slur ends up looking like some kind of strange line modifying the flat 
symbol, rather than a slur. The slight downward curve at the right-hand end 
makes it much more obviously a slur.

\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"

\relative c {
 \clef bass
 \time 6/8
 bf8 ( d' ) r8
 \shape #'((0 . -0.5) (0 . 1) (0 . 1) (0 . 0.4)) Slur
 bf,16 (
 \once \override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(0.25 . 0)
 bf' ) d ( bf d bf )
}

Thanks again!
