The limit adjustment won't fix that. You can buy a chain keeper that attaches to the seat tube and prevents of chain from going inside the small ring.

I use an FSA SLK 50/36 with an Ultegra regular FD and it works like a charm. I do have a chain keeper as described above and it has prevented the chain falling off the small ring completely.
