??? If you know that the last measure is incomplete, it's obvious that 
you will get a bar check error if you insert a bar check there. If you 
really want to verify that the last measure is exactly 7/8 long (for 
example), you could explicitly set the measure length manually for that 
measure:

\relative c'{\partial 8 c8 |
 c4 d e f |
 \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 7 8) d2 c4. | \bar "|."
}
