One would have to see what happens at the engraving stage (likely a wait
for a NoteColumn or MusicalColumn that never materializes because the
piece ends here. It might make sense to generally flush out another,
possibly specialized column when an explicit bar is placed: Things like
\! or \fermata or similar don't really benefit from moving across
explicit bars.
