I tried this:

        \override Staff.KeySignature.break-visibility = ##(#f #t #t)

along with some variations, but it didn't seem to have any effect. 
Also, I had used that formula in another situation (with the 
TimeSignature, I think), and, although it removed the signature, it left 
the empty staff lines it had occupied dangling off the end of the staff, 
with was a bit unsatisfactory.
