Improved rectilinear exterior fill on low-infill items

When using rectilinear exterior fill with a relatively sparse infill, on a shallow upwards curve, this can leave a lot of the exterior fill not just suspended in air, but it goes out and turns around mid air.
Example :

This is less of a problem on a concentric fill, as it gets strung across the hexagons, but this precludes the use of bridging. With enough top solid layers, this eventually gets covered, however it can cause divots if there isnt enough top layers and can look ugly on translucent parts. Would it be possible to get the slicer to string an 'interior perimeter'(or similar) line or two across the honeycomb first to give the fill something to anchor to before it turns around?

Thanks
