You will need to add the following macro to the example file ibar-bib.tex. 
Once the expansion bug is fixed the file will compile.

\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
    \vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}

Dear Taco,

There is some esoteric macro expansion bug in the bib module (beyond my
capability to understand). For example, the \Ibar macro works fine outside of
the a= context. \getcommacommandsize can't seem to figure out that ## stands
for an alignment preamble. Is there a way to protect the argument of a= ?

Please try the following :
