There’s not only issue 5264 but another problem with string-distance = 
-1: the vertical alignment (maybe also in \markup fretboards?).

\version "2.19.80"
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

\new FretBoards \with {
  \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.orientation = #'landscape
} \chordmode {
  c
  \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.string-distance = #-1
  c
}
