If you want to align something on a bar line, you'd better use \mark.

DSalCoda = {
  \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = 
#begin-of-line-invisible
  \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
  \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
  \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'no-spacing-rods = ##t
  \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'padding = #2
  \mark "D.S. al coda"
}

{
  c'1 c' \DSalCoda
}
