Stick the fieldless designation into brackets.  Consider it a scribal
standard, not part of the blazon.

All right, by putting a complex line on the lozenge you remove the
appearance of a shape for heraldic display, and can therefore have
a lozenge as a fieldless badge.
I give you this registration from February 1999:
   Kenric Bjarnarson
   (Fieldless) On a lozenge ploye, two pheons in pale conjoined
   at the base throughout Or.

The blazon looks fine, since the cross is most definitely couped to 
follow the edges of the lozenge.

No consideration of conflict, but the client might wish to know about
this one:
Brenna Lowri o Ruthin - January of 1990 (via Meridies):
(Fieldless) On a lozenge engrailed Or, an equal-armed Celtic cross azure.

I wouldn't even consider a visual confusion on this, though, with the totally
different colours and line treatment.  It's just my policy to inform clients
about similar stuff which is already registered.

This is quite clear.  Makes a great wine label, too.  :)
