I've been making all my wall units deeper partly for this very reason. Also because the cabinets I'm using are made with an 18mm back panel so I'm only getting 260mm internal on a 300mm unit anyway! I've been making them all 330mm deep. and that solves various problems like this, and gives the customer a better interior space I think.
To add to this I am also usually raising the starting height of wall units to generally 650mm above worktop, so the extractor cabinet is now in line with the rest; there is more space around the worktop which Clints seem to like. And also of course with the deeper wall units it helps to mitigate that problem.
But I wonder if someone hasn't made a shallower extractor for this reason so would also be interested to hear if anyone knows of one.
