Well, it is you and it isn't. What you are seeing is a classical
representation of rests greater than one bar. By default, LilyPond will do
this kind of thing up to 10 bars (I think). If you were hoping to get the
usual "H"-style rest, then just reduce the number of bars for when this
occurs, like:
\override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = #1
or something like that (look at the "Selected Snippets" section on the page
that describes rests for more details and examples). This override says
that when there are MORE than this number, create an "H"-style rest.
