That sounds like issue 660
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=660>.

Try
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.break-align-symbols = #'(time-signature 
key-signature staff-bar break-alignment)

The default is just #'(staff-bar break-alignment) and the staff will
reach to the first encountered element in the list.

This might warrant some better documentation I suppose.
