Nice! This solves the problem completely for this one-Staff score (e.g., linear instrumental part).
No doubt a similar incantation (e.g., on PianoStaff) will work for my other scores — I’ll have to check that when I get back to them.

For multi-staff scores just add the bar number engraver individually to the uppermost staff:

\new Staff \with { \consists "Bar_number_engraver" }

If memory serves, it doesn't work if you try adding it to a PianoStaff context (just add it to the right-hand staff).
