The override has been applied to music, not to the metronome mark.
IIUC, MetronomeMark is a markup object. In the thirdd snippet here you 
find an example to modify it:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#metronome-marks

I know that you can modify the notehead style inside a markup, I don't 
know if you can also modify the flag style.

See this example:

\version "2.17.10"
{
  \set autoBeaming = ##f
  \tempo \markup {
    \concat {
      (
      \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN
      \override #'(style . mensural) {
        \note #"8" #1
      }
      " = "
      \general-align #Y #DOWN 120
      )
    }
  }
  c'8 d' e' f' g' a' b' c''
  \override Flag.stencil = #old-straight-flag
  c' d' e' f' g'
}
