This is because you have set the break-visibility to #all-visible.
If you instead use #end-of-line-invisible then you get the desired result.

No, this is not true. The 1st upbeat (the partial measure) should NOT 
get a bar-number. Numbering begins with the first whole measure which is 
what you see in your score.
If you really need an alternative numbering then you could insert
\property Score.currentBarNumber = #2
in start of score.

Again, default notation would be not to give the partial measure a bar 
number so that the incomplete measure before the :|: and the partial 
measure after together form a complete measure.
What you see now is wrong, though.
The problem is that the \partial command subtracts one from the bar 
number in order to get the starting measure numbering right.
Solution in this case is simply to remove the \partial directive from 
your score - the \bar-command does not reset the timing and hence you 
get the correct result even without the \partial command.
If you need the partial measure to get its own barNumber - correctly 
displayed, also, then I can see no clean solution - but a very ugly 
solution is to manually shorten the length of the incomplete measures, 
like this (fixed snippet of your source):

  b,4 a,8 g, fis,4. g,8         % 8
  \property Score.measureLength = #(make-moment 3 4)
  < d,2. g, >                     % 9
  \bar ":|:"
  \property Score.measureLength = #(make-moment 1 4)
  b,8 a,8               % 10
  \property Score.measureLength = #(make-moment 1 1)
  d4 a,8 c b,4 g8 d             % 11

Other experienced users, please speak up if you have a better solution 
for this.
