Tried that. The problem is that the gap is small rather than the curtain pole having particularly large brackets.
The second problem is finding decent, affordable curtain poles for square bay windows - I can't really be too picky.

Fair enough, in which case I'd go for a solution like @lynx suggested. Find a piece of timber that's wide enough to fit the bracket onto (and hopefully no deeper than the archtrave; plane/cut a rebate along the back top edge so that the bottom corner of the coving will fit into it; screw that to the wall (very firmly) then screw the brackets to that.

What do the brackets look like?
