Add double barline to new instrument fails and workaround.
I have a 4/4 score that contained only flute and piano with a 2 beat pickup bar at the top and a repeat barline referring to the end.
I inserted 4 bars after the PU and then copied the LH from the first 2 written bars and pasted them into the 4 bars. The repeat barline moved.
I added a double bar line after the PU.
I then added an acoustic bass instrument. The double bar line was missing on that instrument and I was not able to add it until,
I deleted the DBL from the original staves and then re-applied the DBL.
I see after the workaround, that the repeat barline has been added in the proper place in the acoustic bass stave, but I did the workaround before I saw if it had appeared properly before the workaround.

There are definitely some known and highly annoying issues with barlines. See for example #123436: Double barline doesn't appear on the staff of the added instrument.
