Apparently so. I suspect (but haven't proven) that this is true because
bar-checking is performed in an iterator outside the
Personally, I think that the warning is "technically" correct, since R
indicates a full-measure rest, and a full measure rest should start at
measure-position zero.
However, since we need to use full-measure rests to enable the empty staves
to be removed, it would seem that a partial measure is also a "full measure"
as far as full-measure rests are concerned.
But for the current status of bar-checks, putting a full-measure rest in a
partial measure should always produce the barcheck warning, IMO.
