Barry,
This would make a great enhancement request. Can you log it?
As a work around you have a couple of options:
1 - use a gradient and define it differently for each series.
2 - use an image. Using this approach you can build your own pattern
Just make a small gif with a color and a pattern, and the image will be
repeated in the bar.
