So far the only solution that I know of is this pack of Reacharound brackets by River City Bicycles. Maybe I will try to fabricate my own version, since I don't need the one for the rear wheel.
That looks like a good workaround. My fenders should arrive today and I'll likely put them on this afternoon.
