The bagman might help, but it would depend on the overall clearance between the saddle loops and the other rack, too close and the bagman expedition length may collide with your other rack.
There is a dirtbag solution, http://flic.kr/p/8MGtJH Run the cord back and forth a few times from the rack to the saddle rails, this also makes a great place to store a length of cord. Then strap the camper off to the cord. On the rack bike combo in the pic the bagman would click against the rack when my longflap was loaded heavy, made me nuts. The thin ropre was the silent solution. Also of note is that while the bagman is likely the least evil solution IMO for supporting a carradice, they still can come loose on trails and other times you do not want, there are hacks to fix this, but just keep it in mind.
