I don't see that the program version matters. I've not noticed
any changes in this area for years.

So what you've got here is a context (1) to write barnumbers on the
first measure of each line, followed by a context (2) to write
barnumbers on all measures except the first. (It doesn't matter
where you place the barNumberVisibility.)
I would just write the single context:
\context {
\Score
\override BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
barNumberVisibility = #all-bar-numbers-visible
}
which is what Kieren suggested.
You could even put the following in a separate file, and just drop it
in with \include at the top of the file (like language, paper etc)
whenever you needed it to apply by default to all scores in the file.
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
barNumberVisibility = #all-bar-numbers-visible
}
}
Cheers,
David.
