I fully agree. > Normally, AFAIK, in case of the slashed 6, the slash doesn't > cross the entire digit but only the upper part (this is, the `finger' > instead of the `bowl'). Apparently, there are two conventions. All the figured bass scores that I have (which are mostly scores of masses, oratoria or operas) draw the slash straigt through the number. Attached is a scan of such a figure (taken from a 1924 edition of Haydn's Theresa Mass). Wikipedia (and http://www.robertkelleyphd.com/FiguredBass.pdf), however, says that there is also the 6 slashed through the finger as you describe it.
