Comment #16 on issue 2109 by elu...@gmail.com: do not tinker with the position of a pitched rest
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2109

maybe a little note/warning/"known issue" in the docs would reduce more confusion:

in NR after:

"1.2.2 Writing rests
Rests are entered as part of the music in music expressions.
Rests
…

To explicitly specify a rest's vertical position, write a note followed by \rest. A rest of the duration of the note will be placed at the staff position where the note would appear.
…
…
…
Known issues and warnings"

we could add

"When using pitched half or full rests special attention is required to ascertain their typical behavior of lying or hanging on a staff line."
