I don't understand why you set measurePosition (which tells where the next
note is in the measure). Rather, you could set measureLength 
corresponding to
the scaling of the durations that you have applied (ideally that should 
be done
automatically by compressMusic, but this doesn't seem to happen now).
Here's a working version:

\layout {
 \context { \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
 \context {
   \Staff
   \consists "Timing_translator"
   \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
}

<<
 \new Staff {
   \compressMusic #'( 8 . 9 ) {
     \time 5/8
     \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 5 9)
     b8 b b b b
     \time 2/2
     \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 8 9)
     b2 b
     \time 6/8
     \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6 9)
     b4. b8 b b %\bar "|"
     \time 4/4
     \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 8 9)
     b4 b b b \bar "|"
     }
   }
 \new Staff {
   \clef bass
   \time 3/4
   c2. d e f  }
