At version 2.12.2 the right way to do that is apparently:

\version "2.12.2"

\new Staff {  a'1 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" } }

However, that apparently doesn't work for the very last bar line; even in the documentation in Section 1.2.5 of the Notation Reference an apparently irrelevant measure is placed after the bar line with the centered fermata.

Anyone know why it doesn't work for the last bar line?
