I believe Sheldon Brown recommended that in cases like this, you just run a short 'floating' piece of cable housing under the bb shell, and ignore the downtube cable stop entirely. Apparently the cable tension is sufficient to keep the short piece of housing in place. A plastic cable guide held on with a dab of superglue would also work well, but you may feel it detracts from the looks of the frame.
