Under the MIDI/Audio menu, select Quantization Settings and then click 
the More Settings button -- in the More Quantization Settings dialog is 
an option "Allow Dotted Rest in Compound Meters."  Be sure that radio 
button is selected and then click OK.

That has usually fixed that problem for me.  I can't find any other 
setting in the Document Options that addresses that issue.
