Not at all.

It is usually drawn as one outline.

Of course, Lilypond could try to mitigate the scaling sensitivity by
drawing barlines ending in the _middle_ of staff lines.  However, it
means that you have to treat the corners (bar lines at the start/end of
a staff) separately.  It may be hard to come up with a good way of doing
them similarly insensitive to scaling issues.
