Hi!

I have had the exactly same problem!
And Nicolas Sceaux gave me a workaround here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2009-10/msg00011.html

Please try the following code:

%%%
%%% The following hack make regular rests hara-kiri-able
%%%
#(let* ((rest-def (assoc 'Rest all-grob-descriptions))
(meta-def (assoc 'meta (cdr rest-def)))
(interfaces-def (assoc 'interfaces (cdr meta-def)))
(interfaces (filter (lambda (interface)
(not (eqv? interface 'rhythmic-grob- interface)))
(cdr interfaces-def))))
(set-cdr! interfaces-def interfaces))


A bug report has been added to the tracker.
I hope somebody will start working on this issue...
  Issue 849: Rests should not keep staves alive
  http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=849

Cheers,
Xavier
