Hi Tim,

if I understand correctly you mean the behaviour at mark "B" in the
code below (not that at mark "A").

\version "2.16.0"

musI = \relative c' {
        c1
        \mark \default
        \bar "dashed"
        d
        e2
        \mark \default
        \once \override Staff.BarLine #'glyph-name = #"dashed"
        \bar ""
        e
        f1
        g
}

musII = \relative c' {
        c1
        d
        e
        f
        g
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff \musI
  \new Staff \musII
>>

Yep.
