The “right thing” only by accident:
        \defineBarLine "m" #'("||" "||" "||")
has the same effect (single Mensurstriche between the staves).

I should have read the output …

AFAIK \defineBarLine is used only for new barlines and seems to need a 
special syntax (f. e. 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/bars#index-_005cdefineBarLine-1 
defines "||-dashedSpan"; this cannot be some arbitrary string but has to 
start with "||-" …)

I’ll have a look into that later. Maybe one should add some simple form 
of Mensurstriche to vanilla LilyPond.
