Yes, the standard behavior (see e.g. Gardner Read's "Music Notation", p.278) 
is to align the metronome mark over the time signature (or the first 
notational element of the measure if no time signature is present in that 
measure). I also asked about this a while ago:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2008-06/msg00209.html

So, yes, I think that MetronomeMark should support break-align-symbols, but my 
trial-and-error attempts to code this similar to RehearsalMark have only lead 
to crashes or no change.

Cheers,
Reinhold
