It's not lilypond's job to imitate hand-written marks! In other

over bar lines] so that we can adjust lilypond accordingly, if necessary.
In some Puccini scores, marks for possible breathing places are
indicated by a small comma.
I'm not sure whether this helps, but Elaine Gould writes (at p. 187)
under Pauses / Break in sound:
"Place the comma and caesura just before a subsequent note or
barline. [...] In a score, the comma, caesura and pause over a
barline should appear at the top of each instrumental section only
(so as not to be intersected by a barline). When not over a barline,
place the symbol above every stave."
This implies that she countenances such marks over barlines - but
perhaps this sort of comma is a pause, not just a breathing mark.
