You can try playing with:
\override Score.Slur #'height-limit = #4.5
or/and
\override Script #'padding = #1.5
[For more control, I'll leave it to the experts...]

I think that this is a bug (at least in 2.6.3 which I use) due to the
brace being too big. I've read it's solved in later versions.

In 2.4.5, you could add litteral space characters after the instrument
name:
\set Staff.instrument = "Piano "
But this doesn't work anymore (in 2.6.3). So I have to do this:
\set Staff.instrument = \markup{ "Piano" \hspace #2 }

This was a problem in 2.4.5, but in 2.6.3, I don't need any tweaking for
the bar number not to collide with the brace.
Best,
