I've always circumvented the arpeggio problem by setting the arpeggio 
direction to RIGHT and setting a negative padding. I use a small music 
function to automate this somewhat:

%==============================
\version "2.19.15"

arpf = #(define-music-function (parser location pad) (number?) #{
  \once \override Staff.Arpeggio.direction = #RIGHT
  \once \override Staff.Arpeggio.padding = #pad
          #})

melody = \relative c'' {
  \voiceOne
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  \arpf #-3.7 <g-0 c-1>2\arpeggio
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(right)
  \arpf #-2.7 <g-0 c-1>\arpeggio
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
  <g-0 c-1>1\arpeggio
}

bass = \relative c' {
  \voiceTwo
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <c-3>2\arpeggio
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(right)
  <c-3>\arpeggio
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
  <c-3>1\arpeggio
}

\score {
  \context Staff \with {
    \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
  }
  <<
    \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
    \context Voice = "melody" { \melody }
    \context Voice = "bass"   { \bass   }
  >>
}
%==============================
