Wouldn't it just be easier to do

{
        R1
        \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #6
        \once \override MultiMeasureRestText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -3.3)
        R1^\markup { "(    )" }
}

[That being said, the behaviour you're seeing *is* odd, and should be  
explained/fixed.]

Hope this helps,
Kieren.
