I agree it's minimal but maybe too short!

adding notes to fill a full messure (which is 4/4 in this case) enables the
full measure rest to be written.

why \cadenzaOn is disturbing I cannot say, but try the code below:

cnotes = \relative c'' { c8[ d e f g] c[ c c ] } 
snotes = { $(skip-of-length cnotes) } 
mnotes = { $(mmrest-of-length cnotes) } 

\score{ 
  << 
    \new Staff \cnotes 
    \new Staff \mnotes
    \new Staff \snotes 
  >> 
}
