Hello Paul,
I have tested it and the answer is to attach the markup to the rest:

  R2*5^\markup{ \left-align{ "Poco meno" } } %117

My test:

\version "2.11.27"
\include "english.ly"
melodie= \relative c'' {
  \set Score.skipBars = ##t
  \override Score.MultiMeasureRest   #'expand-limit = #1
  \time 2/4
  r4 
  << 
    { b4 ~ b2 c4 } \\ 
    \set hairpinToBarline = ##f 
    { s16 s8.\> s2 s4\! } 
  >> 
  e\f %112
  R2*5^\markup{ \left-align{ "Poco meno" } } %117
  R2*2
}

\score {
 \new Voice = "mel" << \melodie >>
 \layout { }
}

Best wishes
Phil.
