Indeed.
In the code for the attached image I tested BarLines successively
incresing hair-thickness (the value is displayed), ref-points are
displayed as well.
In the first place BarLine/Clef-space is consumed by the increasing
extent of the BarLine. Only if no space left, Clef moves.
Same can be observed if in BarLine.space-alist the setting of
key-signature is changed to 'minimum-space.
The proper fix seems to be to use 'extra-space for
BarLine/Clef-spacing, I'll likely provide a patch. For now:

\override Staff.BarLine.space-alist.clef = #'(extra-space . 1)

I don't know the reason why 'minimum-space is used. It's in the source
at least since release 1.2.0
