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 <han...@xs4all.nl>
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.
