I don't think you're overlooking anything; this looks like a bug.  It 
occurs in 2.8.2 as well, and it doesn't matter if the \time or c1 are 
there.  Even more worrying, adding barline checks doesn't produce any 
warning -- the barlines are still in the wrong place!

I've sent this to the bugs list.


%%% barlines messed up, occuring on   s4 | s s s s | s s s
\version "2.8.2"
\layout { ragged-right=##t }
\new Score \with {
  \remove "Timing_translator"
  \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
}{
  \new Staff \with {
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }{
    \relative c'' {
      d4 d d d |
      e e e e |
    }
  }
}
