Interesting. I thought that changing outside-staff-priority like here

\version "2.13.61"
<<
  \new Lyrics = mlasklyrics
  \new Voice = blahvoice {
    \override Score.BarNumber #'Y-offset = #2
    \override Score.BarNumber #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
    \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)
    \repeat unfold 10 { a'2 c'' a'' d'' }
  }
  \context Lyrics = mlasklyrics \lyricsto blahvoice { \repeat unfold
20 { pom pam } }
>>

should help, but it doesn't.
I don't have more ideas now...
