In-line to the rescue, 2 different approaches:
1 1 4 4 0 6 0 0
1 2 20 0.07

You found a real live big, thanks! I don't have a good quick fix, but
will track it down ASAP. Meanwhile, you could probably use in-line to
manually place the figures where you want, something like (untested)
\offset{.5\noteskip}\Figu53\offset{-.5\noteskip}\ c03 54 /
but this will then remove the manually-inserted figure from the
baseline computation. Also, note that with the original coding, the
horizontal locations will change if there is another part that
metrically subdivides the bar into smaller increments. If there were
four quarters in the treble part, the floating figures would go right
where they should be.
