Progress bars are just a tool that needs the right material to work on. I realized that when i tried to progress bar-ify a recursive task. I think it's more sensible to find a UI language that can seamlessly incorporate a progress bar and a dumb spinner with some note on what's going on. Which one is shown/used will depend on the task that is being loaded. Different words for different things.
