Yes, I wonder that too. As I have run into the same compatabiliy issue in reverse on another bike: MTB LH shifter not working well with a Road Triple FD.
but this - barend LH with MTB FD - seems to be the Go To setup for Rivendell riders.
and I asked a knowledgable person who though that a LH Shimano barend should have enough range to cover a triple crankset.
