Not numbering the first full measure because you consider it part of the "pickup" is a bad idea, I think. Every full measure needs a measure number, regardless of any phrasing issues. This is a good rule of thumb and I don't see any good reason to go around creating exceptions.
I have a piece called "Ice Butt" which my band has been playing for years as opening song, and has two full 2/4 measure of pickup. The 3rd bar is the beginning of the harmonic rhythm as Baia� groove starts there, and ends two bars before for next pickup in the 16 bars block. But the bridge doesn't have pickup because the groove changes to Frevo-like, which won't make sense if pickup.
It just doesn't make sense to me to number from bar one on this song.
It may not make sense to you, but will it make sense to your musicians, when you call out "Bar 7" and everybody plays from bar 7 while you really meant bar 9?
