I don't remember what dashed bar lines look like in printed music,
but at least it certainly makes sense to synchronise the dashes/dots
with the score lines as is done in LilyPond today. Otherwise it
could be difficult to distinguish them from solid lines.

I hope you have noticed that dashed bar lines indeed are supported,
at least since version 2.2, see

IMHO, \bar ":" rather seem to produce stacked dots. Or, in other words, do
stacked dots, which are rather wide, look better than dashed lines, which are as
thin as \bar "|"? At least, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt have used the latter 
ones.
