I would have one progress bar with one label underneath and the

label changing as you change task.
Agreed. That's consistent with the use of progress bars in the rest
of the system.

What we came up with was a sort of "segmented progress bar". So if
there were 5 steps, we'd have 5 little progress bars lined up next
to one other, with a small gap between them. If we were halfway
through the third step, then the first two progress bars would be
filled, the third half-filled, and the last two empty.
I'm not really sure what you are trying to achieve here. Usually I'd
assume that your customers either know which steps are to take in
what order, or that they don't really care.
If you absolutely want to visually communicate which parts of the
process are already completed, I suggest you implement a list similar
to the one Installer.app uses.
As a somewhat in-between solution, you could make your progress bar's
label read something like
"2 of 5: Calibrating Flux Matrix"
