This is awkward, because Lilypond applies the ottava to all the notes on the
staff.
This situation is similar to the problem of a pedal note, see <http://
lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=326> so I suggest you adapt that method.
After starting the 8vb bracket, tell Lilypond to engrave as if middle C was 6
steps above the centerline of the staff (that is, the normal position for
middle
C on the bass cleff). Then you enter the low notes one octave higher than they
sound.
<< {
\clef bass
<fis cis' g'>1 ~ | <fis cis' g'>4
} \\ \relative c {
r2. \ottava #-1
\set Staff.middleCPosition = #6
<b,! bes'>4 ~ | <b bes'> \ottava #0
} >>
