Bug? Multi-bar rest + semibreve = bars skipped

[Silas S . Brown]

Hi, is this a bug or a feature? - on Lilypond 2.10.33 if you do

c'1 R1*4 d' e'

it leaves some extra blank bars after the D.
To get around it, you have to write

c'1 R1*4 d'1 e'

i.e. you can't assume that the "1" from the
"R1*4" will carry over to the next note. 
Should this be mentioned in the documentation?

Thanks.

Silas
