It means "reserved" or "engaged (to be married)"; I meant it in the
former sense, since RehearsalMark has a default setting for
'after-line-breaking which can't be overridden without causing
possible breakage (hence my suggestion to call
shift-right-at-line-begin using a custom callback which will call the
default after doing its work.)

Purely conjecture on my part, but IIRC, rehearsal marks used to
collide with clefs at the start of a system. Once this was fixed, it
probably wasn't considered as important to shift the symbol to the
right.

Yes.

No. :)
If somebody wants to fix this issue properly, it's best to leave it to
their judgment as to how it should be implemented.
