I'm really confused about what's happening here.

Which dialog are you referring to here? I've just opened the file and used the "Insert system break" to insert system (line) breaks at measures 10 and 14 successfully. Please let me know which dialog (I suspect the "Specify number of bars" dialog) it is.
Since you have 5 bars per system in the first two systems (lines), and they are locked, you'll need to use the manual "Insert system break" to set the next line at 4 bars. Composer should behave better for you and let you set the barlines either way (manually, or via the dialog). Do let me know how you were trying to do it, so I can make a good recommendation for having Composer behave better.

P.S. It won't play at all either (waited several minutes).

I was not able to reproduce this problem. It played beautifully for me here
Are there any particular steps that you can take to make it not play? I do see a problem that it doesn't properly "stop" at the end of the file for more than a few seconds, and I will report that problem. Is that related to the problem you were experiencing?
ttfn,
Sherry
