Well, in my opinion both differences were equally visible.
Nevermind.

I see the override in ly/engraver-init.ly, and i tracked the code back
to its first appearance 12 years ago:
commit 1539b48e9bd7cd7698e602dc3d3dbe74a6567a49
Author: Han-Wen Nienhuys <address@hidden>
Date: Sat Sep 8 20:11:09 2001 +0200
release: 1.5.9
but i haven't found any rationale _why_ rhythmic staff barlines should
be so long.

Hmm. I think we should change it. The default behaviour (i.e.
ensuring that the barline is at least 2 ss long) seems perfect to me.
