This was a bug that appeared in 2.2.5 and was fixed in 2.2.6.
The problems that Paul reported a couple of days ago are completely
unrelated. A small example showing Pauls problem is
\version "2.4"
\relative c' {
  \tempo 4=100
  R1
  c4 d e f }
What happens is that the metronome indication is not typeset
when you have a multi measure rest. I''ll send a followup to
the bug report.

If you don't care about MIDI output, simply skip the \tempo instruction
and only use the \markup. If you want correct tempo in the MIDI output
but only the \markup in the printed output, try something like
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
