Hello,

Please read the section "Known issues and warnings" of NR 4.2.2 Setting the
staff size
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size

Use
#(define bar-line-props '((BarLine thick-thickness) (BarLine
hair-thickness) (BarLine kern)))
and
#(revert-props 'magnifyStaff 0 bar-line-props)

This is the main reason why I do not use \magnifyStaff but still rely on
fontSize and \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep #-x)

Cheers,
Xavier
