One solution: Put a strip of wood under the outer seat runner, somewhere between half & three-quarters of an inch should do it (bolting through the wood), to tip the seat inwards fractionally, just enough to allow the frame to clear the seat.
At first you may feel you're sitting slightly awkwardly but in no time it just feels right, just as with the offset pedals. That seems to work for us, just haven't gotten around to fitting the new seat covers (leather, no less!) yet. If anyone has a more 'proper' solution I'd be glad to hear it but I gather this is a known problem.
