It is easy
for a user to move the sign to the end of the staff lines with

   \once \override Score.BarLine #'extra-offset = #'(1 . 0)
   \once \override Score.SpanBar #'extra-offset = #'(1 . 0)

if this was really wanted, although this would admittedly push
it into the right margin.

Indeed. It's not quite exactly '(1 . 0), but just slightly less, but this is nearly not noticeable.

Would it make sense to provide another varsegno symbol which looks exactly as the one I have drawn, but has no positive witdh (to the right of the center)?

This sounds more elegant than the tweak above, but I'm not sure if this alone is worth the effort of an additional symbol.
Me, too. It still feels somewhat clumsy to do it in this way, but on the other hand - if it looks alright,
one more sign in the font should not be a big problem.


Another idea: Is it possible to have a double bar line at the end of a line, and the segno bar line at the beginning of the next? What about ".S" doing this, as opposed to "S", or have an additional "||S" and "S||"?

I must admit that I don't have lots of references for this symbol and its use. If this is a sensible default, there is no problem in defining ".S" just doing what you proposed. Can you do some investigations? As you posted the examples in the tracker, I think you are the most important source of informations here ;-)

Thanks,

Marc
