I think I've seen that before.  No, I know I have.  There's a simple
workaround that I use in all my scores at the moment:

    \override Score.BarNumber   #'padding = #3

(or you can override extra-offset, but the padding override also looks
good when you have the occational solo voice with no group bracket.)

Off topic question: Is any collision that you need tweaks to avoid,
considered a bug?  I'm still searching for a list of overrides that will
give me no collisions yet allow a sensible number of systems on a
page.   Preferably, this list of overrides should be empty ;-)
