Maybe this is because the bar counter sets up the #'text property at 
a late stage and so overwrites what you had put there;  
ChordName does that too. 
  
  
You can bypass the #'text property with

>   #{\once \override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = 
>     #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob $new)) #}) 
  
and then say 
  
> \replaceBN \markup \column { "17" "37"}
