I am using version 2.11.21 and the measure numbers still collide with
the StaffGroup's bracket. I don't know whether the fix should be
present in this version or not.

I usually change the extra-offset property of BarNumber:

%---------------------------------------
\version "2.11.21"
\new StaffGroup <<
        \new Staff {
                c'1 \break c' \break
                \set Score.currentBarNumber = #11 c'
                \break \set Score.currentBarNumber = #101 c' }
        \new Staff { c'1 c' c' c'}
>>
\layout{
  \context{ 
    \Score
      \override BarNumber #'extra-offset = #'(-1.0 . 0) 
  }
}
%---------------------------------------

But I'm afraid that in this way I should use different values for
different staff sizes. Will this be handled automatically in 2.12?
