As a musician, I would find if very confusing if a bar number was
printed in the middle of a bar. Imagine an orchestra rehearsal, where
the conductor says a bar number and half the orchestra starts a half
bar off, since they don't realize that half the bar is printed at the
bottom of the previous page. One possibility, as you saym would be to
print the bar number at the first full bar of each line, but this is a
bit tricky to implement in LilyPond today.
In general, it's a bad idea to split bars across lines but sometimes
there is no better solution. Note that LilyPond will only do it if the
user manually has inserted a \bar command.

then no bar number is printed on the page that starts half-way through a
bar. Is this a bug? It seems that either page-breaks shouldn't occur in
the middle of bars like this, or that a bar number should be printed at
the start of the first full bar.
I'm using 2.1.28.
