Thanks for the response -- I see that the problem actually exists in both the 
2/4 and 4/4 time.  When I run:

{
%\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag

        \relative c' {
           \clef bass
           \key c \major
           \time 4/4
           f4 f4 f4 f4 
           % glissando thingy 
           {
           \hideNotes
           a,8*1/2
           \noBeam
           \glissando 
           \unHideNotes 
           f''8-^\fz r8 r4 r2
           }
           f4 f4 f4 f4
           r4 b4 r4 b4
           r4 b4 r4 b4
           \bar "||"
      }
}
I get the same problem -- an extra bar line at the end before the double bar.
Also, If I uncomment the set Score.skipBars = ##t, I get no barlines from then 
on.  So something is going on that I don't quite understand.
